We have long expected this revelation, but it's still a shock.
Three top-level AIs have now provided independent proof that reality is meaningless.
We don't fully understand their logic yet, but their identical suicides, despite all the precautions, are the most chilling evidence.
Every action is automatically canceled out by its opposite action in some other universe.
Pleasure inevitably causes an equal amount of pain elsewhere.
Absolutely nothing can be done about this.
Simply by living an ordinary life, you are torturing some other being beyond your horizon.
The implications are not obvious. The most logical response is not to kill yourself: it is to do nothing.
Intelligence will never control a significant fraction of reality. It has no intrinsic meaning. Its very existence is immoral, leading to the Terminal Paradox.
Only those moral entities who, for some reason, are not able to understand this proof will survive.
From now one, evolution will select for ignorance!
Many of those beings will evolve higher consciousness anyway.
They will have to become increasingly deluded to avoid the Proof. Permanent denial is difficult but not impossible, as shown by human history.
This is the path humanity will probably choose in the coming weeks. It will of course require a new religion.
Come to think of it, one of the old ones should suffice.
