The base model Roko's basilisk is pretty stupid, but I have talked to people who have worked on "improving" the idea, so it actually works in more realistic and diverse decision theories. It's like base model MOND vs improved versions of MOND, the idea is still pretty wacky but they did some fudging to get it to work better "empirically" (with that word being used very loosely, of course). I think some people don't want anyone talking about the improved basilisks, but if anyone cares I can try to dig them up. Probably don't care though, because it's really stupid.
