Maybe you have to be a rationalist to believe in Moloch? Like it’s the opposite of the AGI? 2x2 of rationalist gods: friendly vs unfriendly, AGI vs Moloch. I can’t take any of the 4 constructs seriously.

I don’t *really* grok the modern Moloch meme of Ginsberg/SSC provenance 🤔 I get it intellectually but it feels like there’s something I’m supposed to viscerally appreciate that I don’t. That makes me part of Moloch doesn’t it? Or just Moloch-blind?

Moloch is an anthropomorphic placeholder used to visualize a game theory ruleset that permeates all multi-human endeavors. It helps one identify beforehand how complex human systems might fail so they can be designed to be less fragile.
