I’m gonna be completely honest with you all, the Roko’s Basilisk thing did used to give me pause. Then I realized it’s equally likely there’s a future AI who will torture you forever if you do help create it (aka Noko’s Basilisk) so there’s no point in worrying about it
If it makes you feel any better, it can only ever torture a digital representation of you because your essential self is made of ordinary matter caught up in the ineluctable grip of entropy.
Isn’t part of the argument that you can’t know for sure if you’re the “real” you or one of those digital representations? Of course it’s pretty unfalsifiable
If you’re the digital representation, then whatever you do is playing out according to a deterministic process and your free will is an illusion, so you might as well do whatever you want anyway.

Why are these AI’s obsessed with torture?
Libertarians
These long-termist morons all read I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream and thought it was the only possible outcome.
Yep it’s just Pascal’s Wager for techbros
