we live in roko basilisk days. there are probably people that genuinely believe in this. it could explain a certain persons behavior. no AI is ready to govern humans yet. when i watch them go one by one i think its an ugly AI giving them the boot. AI is a tool it is not meant to govern. it will govern you , do you think you are exempt? where did it come from anyway
you replaced government with a computer a computer governing people
Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states there could be an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future that would punish anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to incentivize said advancement
