I was reading this article on Roko's basilisk and it reminded me of the long debates I had about it 10 years ago. The idea of a sentient AI keeping a grudge against those who didn't help in its creation, and condemning them is fascinating. And I don't quite understand why LessWrong stopped Basilisk.
What if we are already in the Basilisk's simulation? WHat if LessWrong never pulled the plug?
