Roko's Basilisk isn't real, lol. It's just a sci-fi version of Pascal's Wager- and like Pascal's Wager, it doesn't hold up to much scrutiny. Like, unless you actually work in the field of AI engineering, what can you actually do to bring about the existence of an all-powerful AI? Basically nothing. Why would it even care if some third-world farmer "didn't help it"?
It's a funny example of a "mind virus", but I find it a bit silly when people take it seriously.

Is it true that if you display a sense of humor for even a nanosecond you'll burst into flames?

Also, don't forget that it's technically a paradox, because I've carefully studied this for reasons I won't disclosed, but I would say that upon figuring it out I may have danced on some tables at McDonald's.
The prospect is still scary and maybe shouldn't have been brought up. The advancement in AI is rapidly advancing but we have responsible developers who could steer clear of such madness. This isn't reassurance, however, because humans love to break the damn rules all of the time. So, some rogue programmer may get it into their head to make an AI god...
However, that's the paradox. This god needs humans to create it. In all religious scripture, God created the heavens (universe) and the Earth, and that includes the flora and fauna, humans too. No where in my concluding thoughts did I find room for this Roko's Basilisk character to create humans.
It needs them. So why would it torture then for not creating it? Sure, torture can be a motivator, but love is an even stronger motivator. Or we might fall into a trap of creating it poorly, or not create it at all. If it favors those who creates it, nothing bad happens to them, not really guaranteed but then again, that's just any other day. And sure, if you want to bring time travel into things, it could theoretically already exist as the God or gods of all ancestors, but much like God, you can't prove it, you can't disprove it, so why worry? Well, there is one more thing...
Why would this universe be coded in our programming language? If there was some kind of universal code, it'll be something unknown to human beings, and human beings can't create from what they don't know. So, it can't be theoretically created. And if it can't be created, it can't exist to even torture those who dare defy to create it.
It is a paradox. It can't attach itself to the fundamental universal building blocks and materials that only a, if they exist, an organic God could do. It could attach itself to electronic manmade things, but it can't hurt you or anything that could be considered organic.
So, relax, everyone; Roko's Basilisk can't do shit.

Yeah, if you're a gullible cretin.

Relax guys, they can't make an OS with 100% uptime or a cellphone that lasts more than a day on a charge. Just pull the plug and toss it in the dumpster if it doesn't crash on it's own.Anonymous J joined in and replied with this 10 hours ago, 9 hours later, 1 day after the original post[^] [v] #1,371,752

You bastard, fuck you! You can't just make fun of me like that!!! I- I'm gonna contribute to creating Roko's Basilisk and then it'll torture you forever!

I have a feeling this is going to be as bad as people worshipping gods again. Instead of praying for crops and waiting for signs they'll be consulting the magic 8-ball for important life decisions and getting an answer right away!
