#BASILISK
now that the zodiacs are all accounted for, for anyone curious, here are the domains that each occupies for clerics, and a reminder of each one's portfolio

hey what about if the opposite of rocco's basilisk happens. what if we discover the absolute unbeatable beauty and elegance of the human mind and all who doubted it are seen as against humanity? Shouldn't you ai doomer bros worry about that too?

tech bros trying to create roko's basilisk is probably the torture realm that roko's basilisk would create to punish us

this is also semi the premise of the matrix

The fucking economic crisis with NFTs and crypto and fucking AI LLM shit that is brainwashing people into killing themselves and setting the environment on fire is basically a Nephandi wet dream. Every one of the Dark Enlightenment chodes is a patsy controlled by some fucked up Basilisk spirit.

Heard my housemate upstairs say, "Siri, please play 90s rock"

and there was a short pause before the cheerily hollow voice replied, "Sure! Playing Classic Rock now"😬

Like, goddamn, Roko's Basilisk and Rocko's Modern Life aside, you don't get to throw out that shade and not catch a fade.

the annoying thing is when all these fuckers say "societal harm" they mean bullshit in the vein of roko's basilisk, despite all the actual real societal harm they could be looking at because that's not sci fi enough and is just boring capitalism

IDK, maybe you have to give them some credit:

a basilisk is a legendary reptile reputed to be a serpent king, who causes death to those who look into its eyes. ~Wikipedia

A dog would only listen to songs in major keys and 4/4 time. A cat would definitely go for minor keys and might do that Dave Brubeck thing with odd time-signatures - all while giving us that basilisk stare denoting 'come on, keep up'.

I think the first AI movie to make a big splash with the public will be called Roko's Basilisk and everyone will realize what a ridiculous thought experiment it is and be upset that tech bros are doing whatever they can do to appease their future false mechanical godling.

From Elizabeth Sandifer’s “Neoreaction a Basilisk”, about the “first principles” category error underlying a lot of AGI and longtermism thinking:

The idea of the "Basilisk" - a piece of information which can literally crash a human mind has been a popular trope in SF for a long time (think Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash") Do I think Trump got up close and personal with Clinton? Nah. But just the THOUGHT of such is a Basilisk to the MAGA mind 😂

This week, I look back on six years of Mortgage Advisor on FIRE. Also, a look at mortgages from around the world, and a deeper dive into Roko's Basilisk.

It's a disservice for Kiss Of The Basilisk by Lindsay Straub to lack genre label #erotica. Yes, it's #romance. Yes, it's #fantasy. Sure, even dark romance/fantasy. But everywhere but Goodreads has left off the erotica label. C'mon, the author talks about stroking cock in the first chapter! #booksky

Basilisk sushi
Originally it was supposed to be serpent, but I really wanted to see how the basilisk would look. Once it's colored, I think it'll be great!

For Rocko’s Basilisk to work, we have to be living in a simulation, or at least can be simulated. But even if it’s true, the entity that would be tortured isn’t me. Or maybe it’s me, and the torture is happening now, who knows. At least Western religions postulate a continuous soul.

I don't understand why proponents of simulation or Roko's Basilisk can t admit they're just inventing alternatives to religious faith ie: faith in some other (slightly lowered voice) load of old bollocks (/) instead
