Ignore the implication that the virus could rewire my guts into an LTE modem or brainwash me into reading and typing out entire bitcoin transaction blocks for a moment. Yud considers the ability to freely mutate humans to an arbitrary extent and the supervillain plan he comes up with is a fucking cryptocoin miner?
How does someone this creatively bankrupt produce 660 thousand words of a fanfic?
Not to dehumanize but are we sure Yudkowski isn’t an LLM himself?
God you sneerclubbers are never satisified, last time he invented biological bacteria factories creating diamondoids which killed every human alive a the same moment and it wasn’t realistic enough and now he creates a bitcoinminerbrain and suddenly he isn’t creative. Whaddayawant?!
But yeah, it is really not that creative indeed, but then again, most ‘agi kills everybody’ stories are already a bit done.

The concept is just another grey goo scenario rehash but I grant that “diamondoid bacteria” is a striking name for it.
It just reminds me of the “diamondilium” in the Futurama movie that proved the Futurama writers didn’t know how to sustain a whole movie.
