Roko's Basilisk (Read Warning In Post First)

[GrandizerII]

It is a bit like Pascal's wager, but it seems like quite the assumption to think a malevolent AI would seek to punish those who stifled its creation. Revenge is such a human concept. An AI would be more prone to assess which humans would best serve its purposes at the current moment rather than being spiteful to those who merely acted on their own behalf in the past.

But is this really about revenge? I still don't fully grasp what the whole big deal is about, but it has to be deeper than that. Maybe to get human beings who hear about this to commit to getting the AI built as soon as possible?

And now, you make me want to waste time trying to "decode" your binary problem, lol. Thanks a lot.
