    Taking Roko’s basilisk to a whole new level!

    Roko’s basilisk, is a thought experiment which states that there could be an artificial superintelligence in the future that, while otherwise benevolent, would punish anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to encourage that advancement.

      I like to think that Roko’s basilisk has a corollary so that is ultimately benevolent and will reward you for bringing about it’s eventuality.
