The AI is coming for you and there is nothing you can do about it.
What Is It?
Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment about the potential risks involved in developing artificial intelligence. Its conclusion is that an all-powerful artificial intelligence from the future might retroactively punish those who did not help bring about its existence, including those who merely knew about the possible development of such a being. It is named after Roko Mijic, the member of the rationalist community LessWrong who first publicly described it, though he did not originate the underlying ideas.[1]
Basically, if you weren't for it, you will be judged to have been against it. Please face the wall.
