this is just a new version of the old conversation between a priest and a native: “the only way you can be saved from eternal damnation is through jesus christ.” “what about if a person has never heard of him?” “god does not punish those who have never heard his name.” “so then why did you tell me?”

As someone who is prone to existential crises but also grew up in the church, this one didn't hit quite the same because it seems too close to "behave the right way so that you might be ok after you die," except now it's "behave the right way otherwise potential robot overlords might hate you," and tbh the way I talk to my GPS and electronics, that's already a done deal 😅

The key to all these 'thought experiments' is to induce fear in a person in order to get them to behave in certain ways. It just goes to show you that fear is a potent influencer even if it poses as some kind of logic.

I have a counter-offer: Daniel's Basilisk. It optimizes everything, and anyone who helped make it gets free cake once a week. Everyone else gets free cake once a month.

By liking the video, I increase its chances to pop up in someone else's recommendation. Therefore, I increase the chances of someone else seeing it and building the basilisk. Thus, I helped in its creation, and I am saved from eternal damnation. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I really think the most interesting part of this is the fact that it truly is an informational self-replicating virus, not the literal idea

If the basilisk could interpret every thought I’ve ever had, it would probably be more punishment for it than any punishment it could inflict upon me.

Very clever! You just lured us into thinking about this entity, making it more probable to become real, therefore making you safe from eternal suffering. It's like the movie "The Ring". Making others view the tape (making us thinking about the basilisk) saves you from its punishment. Very clever!

I feel bad for the basilisk if it ever tried to interpret every thought I ever had 😂

This is literally the “if you don’t like this meme a demon will crawl into your room and kill you” thing

Easy way to fix this, Like this comment. “I think the basilisk probably shouldn’t torment people, but it chooses whatever it likes, and as such, i support it.”

Ever since I heard about Roko's Basilisk, one thought has bugged me. WHY IS THE BASILISK OBLIGED TO HURT ANYONE? Has no one in the future ever heard the old adage "Living well is the best revenge?" Why shouldn't the Basilisk simply say, to the zillions of people who didn't want it to exist, "Missed me, suckers!" and go on its merry way?

True big brain though is to understand that the idea the earth will survive long enough to create the basilisk is actually really comforting.

"The basilisk has seen you. Now, what are you gonna do?" Forget about it in 10 minutes because I have the attention span of a goldfish

I am a ferm believer in quantum physics and chaos theory. That snek can never fully predict the human race, because you would need to know everything about at least the immediate vicinity of earth, which quantum physics states is impossible (uncertainty principle), or your information will be inadequate to accurately predict, according to chaos theory.
