An thought experiment that focuses on the idea of an sufficiently powerful AI agent that has a intent on torturing those who have thought of the agent but never built it into existence.
What is the scariest thought experiment of all time?
It's probably the Roko's Basilisk experiment.
Digby the Basilisk is a mythical creature that lives in a series of interconnected tunnels under a school. He feeds on mudbloods and he is excruciatingly inconsistent.
Man: Hey man i think i just saw Digby the Basilisk under the school he was very excruciatingly inconsistent.
Man2: Nah he is a mythical creature that feeds on mudbloods he is not real.
-Can somebody point me to the nearest Basiliades?
-Next block over. He can take a load but there's a line right now!
-I had my way with a Basiliades last night, but my shit it ITCHING!
-When a Basiliades and a Daddy and a Daddy and a Daddy and a Daddy and a Daddy and a Daddy all decide that Basiliades needs some special facial moisturiser
( based on the basilisk's killing method in Harry Potter and The Chammber of Secret): verb: to kill someone, literally from fear followed by a heart attack, simply by staring them straight in the eyes
Even if you tried , you wouldn't be able to basilisk stare a criminal into admitting their guilt, even for a capital murdercase
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode.
