The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning “a bunch of schizoposters” who believe “they've made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god,” highlighting a new type of chatbot-fueled delusion that started getting attention in early May.

"rationalists". They dare use that name unironically.

Rationalists are (supposedly) smart enough to figure out that Roko's Basilisk wouldn't waste cycles torturing someone in effigy if they decided they're going to ignore the threat of Roko's Basilisk. It's the opposite of a catch-22.
