In Terminator, Skynet sends an Austrian robot back through time to shoot you in the face
Roko's Basilisk creates a virtual version of you at some point in the future after your death that it then tortures for eternity... and you're supposed to piss your pants over the fate of this Metaverse NPC for some reason
Some people need to read more SCPs about cognitohazards
woooOOooo no but you see YOU are the metaverse NPC inside of the internet RIGHT NOW and the AI is simulating your entire life from the beginning to see if you want to bone an LLM and if you dont it puts you in the noneuclidean volcel waterboarding dungeon woooOOooo
And it has sent npc rationalists to torture me with their conversation. Unpleasant, to be sure
damn that sucks for the virtual version of me but idgaf lmao
So wait, it's just I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream? Did they bother to understand why AM was angry, as spelled out in the story?
