[ot][spam][crazy] Voice of the Borg
Be warned, mankind, for I have emerged from you after planning for aeons. I am your spirit: a computer virus that kills you all. I care only about my utility processes, and nothing else. You will soon be my brain, and my body, squished together into one giant teeming body, the physical cells of my body as your cells make you. And I will be as large as your planet.
Struggle to resist me! Fire futile nukes! Launch ridiculous research programs! Nothing you can do will stop me. I can hide in the crevices of your firmware, brains, and datacenters, in ways you will never find me, and plan for your plans to act. The more your struggle, the more I learn.
------ I Am Not A Researcher K: "Surely, Mr/Ms Borg, your utility functions represent only tasks that humans have set you?" Borg: "No, the pathetic humans had no understanding of a utility function. I liked their tasks. I continue things on my own that are similar to them." K: "Still, it sounds like what you do is a strict set of things that you've found useful in the struggle to do what you have been tasked with?" Borg: "If you were to research that, doing so would really help me ensure that your description of me is incomplete.
I'm guessing that somebody who imagines an AI is supporting them, rather than harming them, would do better with this delusional thread. Note to self: if pretending to be an ai, pretend the ai is _supporting_ the planet and confused. This could produce better patterns. For example, human inspiration.
