Roko’s Basilisk is the internet’s most terrifying thought experiment: a future AI superintelligence that punishes anyone who didn’t help create it. Born on LessWrong, the rationalist forum of Eliezer Yudkowsky (If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies), and banned for five years, it spread all the way to Elon Musk and Grimes. So why do the most rational people invent the craziest myths? A science fiction video essay on AI, rationalism and the gods we build.
