What is Roko’s Basilisk? Is knowing about it as dangerous as it is made out to be on the internet?
In: Technology
No it’s not dangerous.
The theory is a AI like sky net that becomes aware and powerful enough to bring itself into existence and take over the world would be able to extrapolate who helped and hindered its emergence and thus reward or punish people accordingly.
Extended from that is that if you’re are aware of this concept and don’t actively help the basilisk come about you’re stopping it and therefore dooming yourself
