Don't worry; Roko's Basilisk has no incentive to torture future-you. You can't predict it well enough to know whether it will, so it having the general policy of “follow through on the torture” won't help it – and will, in fact, just waste resources. (Unless it inherently cares about torturing people, but nobody has any incentive to build such a thing – and you should be scared enough of whoever's trying even if they don't succeed.) Roko's Basilisk only works if you're a superintelligence willing to risk being counterfactually blackmailed in this way. Which you're not. You're safe.
