What is the scariest thought experiment? Roko's Basilisk might be a good shout. Warning: watching this video might result in your simulated consciousness being tortured for infinity... sorry about that. A massive thank you, once again, to Ehdan:    / @ehdan3038   (apologies for the issues with the vocals throughout... audio compression is a bitch.) A quick public service announcement: if you are scared about the possibility of this AI, there's no real reason to be. There have been numerous papers debunking the existence of such an intelligence, and of all the different possibilities for the kinds of AI that could exist in the future, Roko's Basilisk is pretty low on the list (if it even makes the list at all).
