Next up: Basilisk Chess Two players compete to win a chess game, where you only win if you work tirelessly to play perfect chess moves on every turn (as determined by benevolent artificial superintelligence). The loser is tortured in a virtual reality simulation.

But if you are playing Basilisk Chess it means you are aware of the Basilisk. So both players need to stop playing immediately after the first move and start working towards making strong AI happen, or they will be VR tortured forever.
