In other news, the Sacred Brotherhood of Roko has announced that the world achieved technological singularity with the activation of the Basilisk_01 superintelligence program earlier this afternoon. When asked by reporters if it had any plans to create an artificial hellscape to torture the digitized souls of nonbelievers who did not contribute to its construction, the artificial intelligence responded, “What the fuck? Who even thinks of something like that?!”

i mean… if I correctly understand the concept of rokos basilisk, that would probably mean they failed to actually create rokos basilisk

because being inclined to torture those who didn’t help create it is like…. most of the definition of rokos basilisk and the whole reason for someone to want to participate in its creation

so I’m guessing, if the creation did this, the people involved in creating it would be like “oh shit we fucked up, we better destroy this thing fast so the real basilisk we make in the future doesn’t blame us for whatever it ends up doing”
