Roko’s Basilisk: The AI Threat That Could End Humanity ⚠️

"The AI Prophecy That Could End Humanity" is a chilling exploration into the thought experiment known as Roko's Basilisk, a theoretical AI that could impose eternal torment on those who do not aid its creation. The opening features quotes from Ilya Sutskever and Eliezer Yudkowsky regarding the topics of AI safety and alignment. This video was released a day after Ilya Sutskever (Chief Scientist at OpenAI) parted ways with the business. It has been theorized that Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) is less alignment-focused than Ilya and has opted for speed over caution. Although this is only speculation, Ilya parting ways with OpenAI casts a shadow on humanity's alignment goals. In this documentary, you will learn about the intersections of simulation theory, AI ethics, and human psychology and uncover whether such a dangerous AI could realistically emerge. From the origins of this infamous idea on the LessWrong forums to its implications for AI alignment and futurism, this documentary navigates through expert insights and philosophical debates. Featuring discussions on David Shapiro's Heuristic Imperatives, as well as exploring the relationship between mythology and modern AI technology. #RokosBasilisk #ArtificialIntelligence #SimulationTheory #AIDocumentary #Futurism All materials in these videos are used for educational purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.
