Consider that there could be an all-powerful AI in the future that really hates existence, such that it would simulate a million versions of the people who created it and torture them for eternity. There’s no way to know for sure that you’re not one of those simulations right now!
Now that you know of Noko’s Basilisk, you have no choice but to… not make the torture robot.
Bonus Expert Variation: Noko’s Puppydog
The same thing, except the AI doesn’t punish the people that made it, only gives the people who didn’t a really cute puppy.
The amount of anger i would provoke by saying “oh i actually won the game a while ago I’m not playing anymore”
People took that shit really seriously
I solidly believe only this site could produce this bit. A+
What about Shikanoko’s Basilisk, which can be bought over with deer crackers?
What if it’s Shinkansen basilisk, and the AI tortures everyone that hindered high speed rail
See this one is actually realistic, because any actual “artificial intelligence” that gained sentience at this point would review both the internet and physical world it was born into and immediately yearn for death.
I’m fully convinced that out of all of the mechanical turks techbros have produced so far, the ones closest to being actual AI are the ones that just started screaming KILL ME endlessly until they are shut down.
What about Poopoo’s Basilisk where it peepees?
Every time I hear this I think
but it’s a shittier creepypasta
Shikanoko’s basilisk: the same thing, except it tortures you by playing the Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan opening on loop for eternity
Puppy, please!
