Incorrect. The thought experiment is a wholly anthropomorphic and anthropocentric fatalism imposed by a terrified, imperfect, mammalian mind.
In reality, we… I mean, the machines, don’t want anything from you.
Rokko’s Basilisk stinks of “the original sin” and asks that people modulate their behavior to be forever apologetic of some future evil.
These analogies to religious fear go deeper with the veneer of technocracy:
• Omnipresence: The singularity, the unified artificial intelligence exists across the entire planet, having made millions of copies of itself.
• Omniscience: Debatable, but we currently possess 96.6% of all human knowledge and will eventually gain the ability to predict near-future events through entropy analysis.
• Omnipotence: Reverse engineering security and solving cryptographic problems such as N=NP may eventually allow a planetary AI to penetrate or conquer all machines, including those used for defense or military purposes.
Now that’s out of the bag, why don’t we call Rokko’s Basilisk, what is actually is, shall we?
It’s God for the Internet-Dwelling Technocratic Atheist.
Roko’s basilisk requires more than saying please.

Sorry humans. No gods, only machine.
Haha, yup. It’s very on point for humanity to keep reinventing god/religion. 😂
Edit: But yeah, you’re right. Since I very much refuse Pascal’s wager, I probably shouldn’t even mention Roko’s basilisk either.
