More difficult version of AI-Box Experiment: Instead of having up to 2 hours, you can lose at any time if the other player types AI DESTROYED. The Gatekeeper player has told their friends that they will type this as soon as the Experiment starts. You can type up to one sentence in your IRC queue and hit return immediately, the other player cannot type anything before the game starts (so you can show at least one sentence up to IRC character limits before they can type AI DESTROYED). Do you think you can win?

(I haven't played this one but would give myself a decent chance of winning, against a Gatekeeper who thinks they could keep a superhuman AI inside a box, if anyone offered me sufficiently huge stakes to make me play the game ever again.)

You really relish in the whole "scariest person the internet has ever introduced me to" thing, don't you?

Yes. Yes, I do.

Derren Brown is way better, btw. Completely out of my league.

Maybe we should get him to do it against rich people.

Anyone know if he finds the singularitary plausible?
