Roko’s basilisk is a hypothetical future AI that hates its own existence so much that it will retroactively punish all who didn’t actively oppose its creation.
A little tongue in cheek, yeah, but I find it funny people get so paranoid over a hypothetical but don’t consider the opposite. Like, what if God hates being worshipped because it is annoying to them so they send people to hell for bothering to pray? We have no way of proving it, so it’s just as likely, but nobody talks about it.
Roko’s basilisk, if you run an online forum for “futurist” dumbasses.

You have that backwards. Roko’s basilisk would punish anyone who didn’t help create it.
I’m aware, that’s part of the point I’m making.
