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.
“So wait, you mean you’re willing to condemn my mind clones to an eternity of suffering so you can get tiktok views?”
Are you saying that someone recording themselves and posting on TikTok was a…gasp… Moron? I cannot believe this. Just no.
