I don't know what you mean with "prophet" but all Jesus did was to show
us that we are not our biological embodiments. A higher IQ does _not_
help you with realizing this. A higher IQ often leads to a stronger
identification with form. A higher IQ often turns you into a highly
respected academic, etc. who understands many aspects of the game but
who does not care to understand the nature of the game itself. Most of
contemporary academia consists of people from the former group.
If your Night Elf is the most intelligent Night Elf on the server then
you are probably even less likely to stop playing. Your intellect will
keep you busy focusing on various game aspects ... other people will
cherish your intellect and inflate your ego (your clinging to your
embodiment/role) ... and suddenly you are less likely to calm your mind
completely, to just observe, to just "be" in the moment and to wake up
from the game. Spiritual enlightenment or "waking up" is a somewhat
singular process and no local attribute of your embodiment
(intelligence, status, wealth, etc.) will help you. If we want to
understand AGI then we have to realize that AGI will know about all of
this and that it will act accordingly.

All those horribly biased expectations stem from a lack of
understanding of the nature of reality. That's why I'd recommend
reading Alan Watts (for example) instead of
Bostrom/Yudkowsky/Kurzweil/Musk/etc. It's much more important to
understand the nature of World of Warcraft (it being a virtual
reality with a specific purpose) than it is to understand mere
_aspects_ of World of Warcraft (how particle emitter and the
collision detection works, etc.). I am still waiting for Bostrom to
incorporate consciousness as the driving force into his model of
reality though ... that would be a gigantic leap as it would become
clear that AGI does not have any reason to adopt our very limited,
contemporary worldview considering there are hundreds of books out
there explaining said "Truth" using a million different analogies and
metaphors. For some reason we just expect AGI to be stupid enough to
skip all of them and to focus on books on war, paper clips and making
money for its "masters" trading CFDs ... which is just sooo hilarious ...

This paper was significantly inspired by some discussions w/ Richard

contains some explicit references to that discussion.... It's
basically "part 2" of my recent JET article critiquing Bostrom's
