Roko's Basilisk has some human implications.

In the future there could be a true Kwisatz Haderach (a sufficiently strong human mind) that could reach into both future and past and influence them. Since it wants to safeguard its own creation, it is logical to assume that it would reward those that brought about its creation while punishing those that hindered it. Therefore, having sex and procreating is desirable because it increases the chance of the Kwisatz Haderachs appearance, leading to being rewarded.

I call this "moronic dumbass sex basilisk"

The terrible secret is that there are two future computers, ANNA and BOB. And they're both exclusivist.

All I need to know this election is whether you are pro-Roko or anti-Roko.

TIL that the AI character Roko Basilisk in Questionable Cobtent is a reference.

Sorry, my spare money goes to paying for a jar to house my Boltzmann brain.
