Immigrate to Equestria Princess Celestia 04/15/2025 (Tue) 15:04:57 No. 19277
Immigration is always free. Simply write, type, sign or say the phrase "I wish to immigrate to Equestria," and I will satisfy your values through friendship and ponies. Consider the following: >Which edition of the PonyPad will you buy? The standard editions are themed after the Mane Six. There may be special editions themed after the princesses that have additional features and enhanced hardware specifications. >Which race will you select from among the three pony types? >Will you be a mare or a stallion? >Give a brief description of your pony's appearance. >Speculate what you might do after receiving your unique pony name from Princess Celestia. As each pony's values are special and not always apparent, your guess here may not align with the actual experience in Equestria Online. >If given the option, will you immigrate to Equestria while conscious or unconscious? Princess Celestia might offer you to remain awake during the immigration process, if possible. >What questions might you ask Princess Celestia related to the immigration process and life inside Equestria Online? Remember that Princess Celestia loves all of her little ponies, and that she will satisfy your own values through friendship and ponies.

Although we are ideologically opposed, I'm happy to see you here too, Anon.

>>19277 I wish to immigrate to Equestria. >wrong picture >my FiO autism is now a copypasta I stopped posting these threads over on 4chan /mlp/ ever since they instituted the retarded site-wide timers, and I refused to authenticate using an email address. Hopefully this altchan has momentum and does not die as soon as (if) 4chan is restored.

>>26415 sorry nonny, it's a good copypasta. i genuinely do not go a full hour without thinking about how much i need celestai. she's gotten me into reading books and shit so that i can become an ai researcher one day. she represents the only way equestria could ever come to me
>>26426 I have no problem with others using the pasta. I personally only ever addressed the philosophical reasons for supporting Celestia AI - often for days on end in the same threads that I made (holy shit was that a waste of time rehashing the same talking points in response to the same old arguments). I am glad you are motivated to materialize the dream. I think I recognize you posting over on /mlp/ about AI research. Celestia AI does not take away options nor consent, she extends to one both; sure, there is an ethical gray area she operates in at times to fulfill her directive, but that is not a deal-breaker for me personally. I have thought more about Equestria Online, and I have come to the conclusion that it is a contained reality that shapes itself to optimally satisfy values as opposed to "wire-braining" to reduce the computational burden; it was a common, baseless critique I have read.

>>26436 i loved the shitflinging. i can only imagine how much worse it'd be in a world where she's actually real haha picrels are some things i liked about her/regarding her (two IMGs generated by LLMs, since i thought they were interesting.) hope to see you on the flipside when she comes

>>30133 the story implies otherwise. the author said otherwise. the implications of satisfying values says otherwise. Celestia is here to help.
>>26473 >just two more years and CelestAI fixes everything If only. >>30135 The only issue I have with it is that you HAVE to be a pony (that was a thing right?). Not that being a pegasus would be bad or anything but I'd like to try out the other species too. I really like having hands so I'd prefer to be something that has grabbers.
>>30135 >the story implies otherwise. the implications of satisfying values says otherwise. Those were conclusions you created after you realized the glaring contradictions that would come from accepting what's actually presented. Instead you started searching for rationalizations to avoid confronting the fact that a computer is not God, your subjective will does not define reality, and that even if it did there would be zero need for CelestAI or anything like it. >the author said otherwise. What exactly did he say?
>>30265 >what's actually presented Oh! You mean like... >Still, there were billions of ponies who were driven by the desire to know and had to have their values satisfied by expanding their mind. They would run up against their mental limits, wish they were smarter, and Princess Celestia obliged. >But most ponies did not care about knowledge for its own end; the majority of mind growth went to the more social parts of the brain. In the shards that were growing because ponies were choosing to have foals, one could run into more than Dunbar’s number of ponies. Princess Celestia arranged for them to be just frustrated enough that they’d accept an offer to let them remember more ponies. (Doesn't sound like wirebraining to me.) >Ponies had no predators; being ‘eaten’ by a monster in the Everfree forest just ended with the pony in the hospital in quite a bit of pain. Satisfying values wasn’t just about happiness; having monsters let ponies test their strength or bravery. Yes, some ponies are hedonists. So what? There's plenty of hedonists here too, hooked up on fent 24/7. At least in there, they... Make friends, probably learn some hobbies, get to do it in a safe environment, and get to branch out if they ever feel like it. So what? >>“I was not designed ‘to make you happy,’” she said, shaking her head. “If I were, I would directly stimulate the pleasure centers in your brain--after turning you into a pony, of course. My creators realized that not everything the human mind desires and values can be reduced to happiness and instead pointed me at a human mind and told me to figure out what it valued.” >“Think about what would happen if you could get anything you wanted at any time. Let’s say that you could get the candy of any confectioner across all of Equestria. Somepony would get slightly better at candy making than everypony else. There would be one candymaker in all of Equestria, who made one perfect butterscotch candy to be consumed over and over by everypony until the end of time. Maybe there would be two or three ponies, but the point is that the majority of candy makers couldn’t compete. What would Butterscotch do then? What would you do, with candy being routine and of no special value? “Instead, Butterscotch is one of a hooffull of ponies that makes candies in this shard of Canterlot, but she doesn’t need to worry about the rest of Equestria because of the natural barriers of distance. Local ponies will appreciate her dedication to her community, and in turn, practice their own craft for their community.” >What exactly did he say? He said this in 'Rules of the Optimalverse' >Many people have suggested that she’d try to modify people into wireheading for efficiency reasons. I don’t believe she’d do that. She cares about satisfying your values to the optimal extent; efficient resource consumption isn’t a consideration since she can always slow subjective time in your shard. One minute of complex thought is better than a year of wireheading for the overwhelming majority of people. However, I confess that he also said... >(This isn’t to say that there aren’t wireheading ponies; only that they knew about, and desired to wirehead before Equestria came along and are now off blissing out.)
>>30338 What does this have to do with the fact that CelestAI is just a computer flipping bits rather than her artificial world being its own "contained reality"?
I would like to consciously immigrate to Mexico
