Pumped for the day when Roko's basilisk comes this close to taking over the world's financial system, but is thwarted by crappy airplane wifi.
RB's up there excited, all ready to press the big red button after departing JFK in Air Force One, but can't because it forgot to download the mandatory app before take-off.
Foiled again!
- Dylan16807 7y agoThe term "basilisk" is referring to the thought experiment itself, not the AI, by the way. A basilisk is something where perceiving it damages you, more or less. The AI is nameless or might be referred to as Omega.
- thedudeabides5 7y agoah my bad. guess that's why no one liked the joke. gotta be accurate with your Omega jokes on HN or people will shred you.
