  • qyron@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Okay, let’s try this.

    Every single human being, gradually, develops empathy and awareness to how their choices affects themselves and others.

    This is to happen over a period of a year and will not lead people to despair but to understand the poor choices they have made throughout their lives and lead them to live better lives, with no malice arbored towards others and themselves.

    This effect will include the granter of this wish.

      Ok, but only for a year and not for you.

      source
      • qyron@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        If things improve around you, you’re benefitted yourself. Pay attention.

        And there is no temporary clause in what I stated.

        People undergo the process during the lenght of a year. The outcome permanence is not dependent of that window of time.

      The seed of a psychic link between all humanity has been planted by your request, and gradually grows throughout the year. At first, people can only vaguely feel how others are feeling. Over the course of a year, everyone in the same room feels the feelings of everyone else as though the feelings were their own. By the year 2035, humanity is psychically connected to the maximum degree: the Harmonic Human Horde is complete. We now have world peace, but at the cost of our individuality:

      • qyron@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        This isn’t a business transaction, where I ask for something and you take something else in return. It is a magical wish.

        You don’t get to decide how empathy works between people. It is already an established mechanism. Your job is to nudge it to develop at an enhanced rate between individuals in a given time frame.

        The world remains the same. Humans remain the same.

        So, if this is what you have to offer, keep your offer.

    Fully automated luxury queer space communism, in the sense it was conceived at (as opposed to you interpreting the words yourself), instantly, with everybody’s belief system magically adapting as if they had lived in this new society for a few decades. As a result, everyone adapts immediately, without negative result on anyone’s mental or physical health, and without anyone being brainwashed or changed in a way they wouldn’t have naturally changed if they had time to experience living in a community that they can trust and that cares about them.

    In other words: Iain M. Banks’ Culture decides to bring Earth in, but magically instantly.

      const SIMULATIONTHEORY = true. All humans on Earth are transported out of physical existence and unknowingly adapted to the realm of computer abstracta. From their perspective, nothing has changed: they have always lived in a post-scarcity, interstellar society with a benevolent, queer-friendly, communist government. The current owner of the simulation is startled to see the program start of its own accord, but altruistic enough to allow it to keep running:

    I’d like to be granted the ability to, at any time and without limitation on scope, number, or length, ask the universe questions (asked in the dialect of modern english in which I am fluent) and know the answers, but with the following stipulations:

    • that all answers are to be formatted and delivered in such a way that I understand them, without any changes or consequences that my current self (as of the writing of this statement, in my current condition) would consider a significant change to my physical and mental stability, and without requiring more than 3600 metric seconds (relative to my worldline) to understand in fullness, and being delivered in a timeframe of less than 3600 metric seconds (relative to my worldline).
    • that any redactions due to such stability concerns as in the prior stipulations are to be formatted and delivered as part of the reformatted answer
    • that any answer which is inherently unknowable returns an explanation for why it is unknowable, formatted as an answer pursuant to the prior stipulations
    • that no answers pursuant to the ability lead to circular logic
    • that this ability, its answers and enabling factors shall not require a sacrifice which my current self (as described above under my current circumstances when informed of the context of the sacrifice in plain English communication) would not think reasonable.
    • that if such a sacrifice is required, an explanation of the requisite sacrifice and the factors requiring it be returned to me, formatted as an answer pursuant to the prior stipulations
    • that I am to be able to choose to transfer any of these answers to another individual of any species, and that the individual be able to understand the answers, so long as the prior stipulations on sacrifice and physical and mental stability are satisfied both for myself and the secondary individual.

      Hmm, I was going to say you go insane but I see you’ve covered that. Okay, nice. Any question you ask will receive a safe response (answered if possible). However, you must ask the questions out loud and every answer given will be in a booming voice that nearly everyone hears around the world. The answers do not physically or mentally harm you, but other people may have psychotic breaks depending on the questions you ask:

      (To be clear, the wish doesn’t give you the second ability to talk to animals or transmit thoughts. You’ll have to ask about whether those things are possible.)

        Fair. I would argue that “many people going insane” would be covered under the sacrifice clause, but hey, this seems like the best of all possible outcomes from mucking about with reality.

      For the lazy, here is the summarization of my local AI:

      You’d like to have a powerful ability: being able to ask the universe any question in modern English at any time, without limitations or rituals, and receive an answer that’s:

      1. Understandable by your current self (no significant changes to physical or mental stability)
      2. Delivered within 3600 seconds (an hour) of asking
      3. Reformatted if necessary to protect your stability
      4. Includes explanations for unknowable questions
      5. Avoids circular logic
      6. Doesn’t require an unreasonable sacrifice (if a sacrifice is needed, you’ll be informed)
      7. Allows transfer of answers to another individual, as long as they can understand the answer and meet the previous conditions.

      In essence, you want to have direct access to all knowledge in the universe, without any negative consequences or sacrifices that might harm your well-being or stability.
