Someone I was following on TikTok, whose takes on tech industry bullshit and specifically AI hype I respected, made a video that Roko’s basilisk is a serious concern. My apologies to those who have been in this same situation when I was less sympathetic.
I mean, I agree with the sentiment behind the sarcasm, but also feel the same way about the internet in general. Sometimes it’s learning the same lesson in a new context. But Roko’s basilisk though? Quite a cliff.
