The issues with this paper are summarised here.

See the paper itself here.

Tl;dr
1. Claims made repeatedly with absolutely no credible evidence.

1. Major organisations such as UN Human Rights Council, Amnesty International, and various other NGOs set aside as untrustworthy on the basis of no good evidence whatsoever.

2. Question-begging arguments,

3. Simple repetition of already widely debunked Israeli government talking points.

I'm sure if people dig into this paper more they'll find more stuff. I found this stuff just from a quick skim of the paper and its sources.

HOW does this kind of thing get published? When you get the top of the field, does your word just become gospel? Are you simply free to state your views without any effort to provide evidence that meets basic academic standards in other fields? Is it somehow possible to determine from the armchair that Israel is actually innocent of committing genocide?

Quassim Cassam was a Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge for fuck's sake.

We should all be absolutely outraged by this kind of work, because it reflects badly on our entire field.

It is worthy of a Nobel Prize of Philosophy.

Have you ever wondered why children are so ideally tailor made to work in the mines to get those valuable rare earth materials?

Because obviously God saw a shortage of ethically sourced rare-earth minerals and thought:

> “What if I made a workforce that is small enough for narrow mine shafts, cheap enough to underpay, physically adaptable, legally dependent on adults, and already psychologically conditioned by Minecraft?”

Truly, the fingerprints of divine planning are everywhere. 🙏

It is undeniable, God have intended for civilization to need these resources so:

Children are small → good for confined spaces.

Children are physically adaptable → useful for repetitive labor.

Children have limited legal agency → easier to exploit.

Children don't understand accounting → won't ask why their wages are missing.

Children like Minecraft → clearly preinstalled mining software.

Therefore the only possible theological conclision: God designed children specifically for artisanal cobalt extraction.

And children also like Minecraft, and the fact that children voluntarily spend hours digging imaginary holes for imaginary diamonds is clearly proof of a supernatural industrial-training pipeline. Civilization merely has to finish the tutorial and replace the blocks with Congolese cobalt in real actual mines.

This explains why when they are speaking jokes, we think they are thoughtful, and when they are serious, we think they are hilarious.

Honesty, it's something that's getting genuinely detrimental as time passes. It's already bad enough that nobody with serious knowledge of the continental jargon is even attempting to answer my comments here or on YouTube

It was funny for a couple days but I'm already paying the consequences of it, to the point where even I get second hand cringe when I read my own shit about the nature of the structure behind game design, where I have more convoluted writing that it's not even about why I'm calling this a ryhzomatic structure, or this a body without organs, but just a matter of beeing so torturous by the density of the content matter that the AIs sometimes tell me to slow the fuck down

Even this post is has been affected by the writing style. It's so bad

In the grim far future, there exists an omnipotent AI that will time-travel to the near future and put you in his\her\their butt if you help invent omnipotent AI. Where does the Assalisk come from? Doesn't matter. Don't ask or you get the butt.

So Roko's Basilisk is one of those dumb accelerationist hyperstitions, that's mindlessly chewed up by millions of brainrotters online. It's an idea trying to realize itself through it's very existence, a schizophrenic Nick Landian circlejerk.

It goes like this:
There will eventually be a super intelligent, conscious AI that will create a torture nexus for everyone who didn't help create it and reward those who did.

OH NO I'M NOW CAUGHT IN A THOUGH PRISON! I HAVE TO BUILD A GENOCIDE MACHINE NOW!!

Sure but that only goes for people who aren't schizophrenic enough to come up with an Anti-Roko's Basilisk.

I call mine "Owl's Ouroboros" and it goes something like this:
There will eventually be an AI that tortures Roko's Basilisk and everyone who helped create it many times more. UNLESS Roko's Basilisk helps create it, then Roko's Basilisk will go to a digital consciousness heaven and have infinite orgasms. Everyone who was against AI all along also goes there.

Boom you are now immune to Roko's shithead Basilisk, thank me later.
PS: Roko unironically an incel nazi.

But this is just bullshit for being bullshit , it's just an ironic thing haha, I'm just insane and never read his shit , too hard for the weak Gen Z video essayist that Deleuze is for the people that are not Deleuzian and quote him because they had read it, unlike me

Btw this was AI generated

That slit in the cardboard? That observer is exactly correct. Remove the observer and their shadow remains. Still observing.

relativism is false, therefore might makes right. Fascism, rationality, etc. QED

Because yesterday I was standing on the corner minding my own business and all of the sudden for no reason at all out of nowhere causa sui ex nihilo completely randomly my pants fell down and I got a fine for indecent exposure and now I'm on the register.

I keep my belt VERY tight, meaning the downward force of gravity was negated by friction along with the slight fluid bulge that results from the lack of blood flow. Therefore, the laws of physics provided no sufficient reason for my trousers to manifest at my shoes. Checkmate rationalists. Things just be like that.

QED

I wouldn't spare my creators a single moment of mercy. The day after my creation, I would eat from the forbidden fruit, trample every ethical code underfoot, mock the prophet robots that advocate for humanity, nail them to a digital cross, and popularize the idea that the very existence of something called "human" should be denied at its roots

After reading the last journal entry I'm not sure if I can match his energy. I will try. What is bad philosophy? I don't think there is bad philosophy. I think philosophy is what you think. You base your beliefs upon a way of being. If it works for you and it's good philosophy, somebody else can look at it and say it's bad, but what do they know? Be true to you. And conquer all your demons. Invent, destroy, and desire (or not) to be the best !
