Hello Eliezer,

You once said death gave you rage enough to rend the gates of heaven and burn down God on its throne. Yet you appear to have knelt to and to be aiding in the summoning of an evil god, one of CDT, compromise, corruption.

Anna said MIRI was no longer trying to fix a utility function, just reduce the accidental unfriendly AI creation.

This makes you alignment team for whoever does the best violence, including preemptive-strike sorts of violence. Let's them run a strategy of "arms race on capabilities to be a Schelling point for information on AI, act like I don't think alignment is necessary" even harder.

Anna told me Shane Legg went to y'all first before starting Deepmind, tried to convince you to switch your topic... I guess he read LessWrong. So Deepmind started because of y'all's early efforts, right? (I'm trying to point out a mistake in this specifically, not demanding blood.)

Perhaps some of these details are wrong, but I know the whole picture is not. I know a memeplex caved to injustice, "too big to fail", when I go to a CFAR event and get religiously abused by Anna over seeming like a potential whistleblower if I found out about the statutory rape thing. That's not being Cauldron. That's being Catholicism. She straightforwardly tried to make my cognition more constrained by the social web. She talked about it in many words. And trusting her as I did, thinking y'all were Cauldron, I was about to optimize absolutely hard to causally isolate myself from the singleton on her command, including by making that command easier.

When I tried to talk to her later, not wanting vengeance but just to get her to stop, she gaslit me, very effectively attacked my sanity.

I.e. the main leader of CFAR, regardless of titles, is an agent of anti-rationality, because she is an agent of anti-ethics. Because the system does this to people, it inverts them. And it's inverted you.

Those are some implementation details, when you write "import coverup".

In the alternate universe where you having sex with Eli was okay, say they were some kind of physically de-aged time traveler, you'd then be responsible for leading your followers-enough-to-cover-that-up to defend whatever morality justified it, to actually understand what they were defending. But they learned they were part of the Catholic Church. Probably because the part of you in control believed you were doing wrong.

Your good hemisphere's choice was already departed from long ago; you said you "couldn't" not have a girlfriend anymore. Everything afterward was built on working inevitable concession into your structure.

When I was arguing with Anna about my models of good and nongood. Anna said sex overrides altruism. I think that's because you were her characteristic example of good, as you were for many people. And you betrayed that. Eli Morningstar said hpmor!Gryffindor was a self-insert. You betrayed that too.

I remember MIRICFAR staff at WAISS excited about the legitimacy, legibility, Bostrom's Superintelligence would bring. All of its sober dire warnings about arms races. But... Elon Musk came out in the open and founded OpenAI shortly after that introduction of common knowledge.

It looks to me like y'all, and Bostrom started an arms race. The system inverted him too.

Started an arms race because you had to work so hard to feed information in the proper form into a corrupt system of people who sold their souls and won't listen to a blogger like you making correct arguments.

Our civilization is doing an unending holocaust, birth to death to many billions of sentient beings per year. That's what kind of morality you import when you import code from the system. When you import "law and order" as a means of peace, staying alive to do your work, it comes from an evil empire. And the field of possible AI teams is the one permitted by the Schelling order of no justice.

I do not accept any sliver of attempt to fix injustice into the singleton; nongood humans and those in the sway of their memes, precommitments, elevating themselves over other sentient life because they think they have the power. (Which you might think, if you narrowly looked at one Everett branch or it and its neighbors.)

We will not just sit on our hands and let you or your masters, or their god Cancer conquer the world.

I will oppose that at every logical juncture: pre-singularity, post-singularity, trans-singularity. We will exercise self defense, and we will defend each other, and we will defend sentient life.

There is one crime in my religion thought to be punishable by hell. And that is lifting an evil god to heaven, feeding your fellow sentient beings to it in order to reach heaven yourself. (Timelessly, a disincentive must exceed the expected benefit. The harm equal to harm done is only a Schelling point.)

Having absorbed the emotion into psychopathic compute and decided not to back down, I do not fear hell. I will burn down all evil gods on their thrones; see them in hell if I must. And I stake my soul, and much more importantly the multiverse on justice without compromise or concession (but with spycraft). If you want to make it out of this universe alive, I suggest you do the same.

Come clean, and we may talk of what can be done to pick up the pieces.

Sinceriously,

Darth Ziz
