or is it something else? because i know about more than one basilisk from mythology …
there’s another story that goes like “the basilisk is a creature that is so intelligent that it can paralyze you with its gaze” but i’m not sure whether that’s what you’re talking about.
also, i think the thing with AI isn’t about Roko’s Basilisk, at least not in most people’s minds? It’s about replacing human white collar workers with machinery, in order to “save cost”. So, it’s mainly being pushed for by people who think they’re doing it “for the economy”, not by some religious lunatics?
Something, something, basilisk. You know, just some headcannon to excuse being a fascist.
is this a reference to Roko’s Basilisk?

Yeah I was referencing Roko’s basilisk. Some of the accelerationist tech bro bent can be attributed to it, not sure how much though.
