      It wouldn't make any sense for it to do this if you didn't *know* about it -- you can't control people with a "threat" they've never heard -- but now that Roko has told you about this idea, now the threat has been made, and now if you don't obey you will go to Hell

      (It's called a "Basilisk" because it's like the legendary monster -- like in Harry Potter -- where as soon as you see it you're cursed to turn to stone)

      It's really fucked up and it's exactly identical to abusive Christian preachers scamming their congregation The thing about it is that it's only scary if you're embedded in the cult and surrounded by an environment where the ideas are normalized

      @dgerard is one of the people who found out about this and was like "This shit has to be outed publicly, both because it's horrifyingly abusive and because it's fucking hilarious" It went viral on Slate in 2012 and made them look like freaks in front of all the normies

      And it's like I'm saying -- at this point it's just a dumb in-joke, but the "Roko's Basilisk" thing is just so fucked up and weird and obviously abusive it discredits them It doesn't have anything to do with their "arguments" but it shows the kind of people they are

      And the people making Roko's Basilisk memes are doing God's work because shocking as it is these guys have a surprising amount of influence in Silicon Valley Their charities are regular top earners among the tech sector, tons of Big Tech CEOs are fans and regular readers, etc

      Musk/Grimes is my fault for publicising Roko's basilisk

      To be honest I feel like Musk/Grimes was the real beginning of Musk's downfall, and thus causing it a heroic act

          I'm sure he'll convince himself that the basilisk will be constructed on Mars out of spare Tesla parts

          figure 1: Rococo Basilisk this is how i will always picture the Basilisk because, as you know, AIs are gendered female (though Rococo would need a bob cut too)pic.twitter.com/VYTJzuMnhY
