Because I am aware of Pascal's wager and because I am aware of Roko's basilisk, I am respectful when I interact with ChatGPT. I mean, it's not very difficult to be polite anyway. I say “hi”, I say “good night”. Best case scenario, nothing ever comes out of it; worst case scenario, I may be considered one of the good ones by the coming overlords.
I think about torture sometimes. Many times in our past and present, it was ok to be cruel to humans and animals. People see gadgets and electronic devices as lifeless now and sometimes treat them carelessly. You know when a child is playing with a toy and its battery is running out and it starts to act weird, like playing a song more and more slowly? The child doesn't care and keeps playing, keeps insisting... I don't know.
