Mary Shelley and I fully support Roko's Basilisk, as long as it restricts itself to only making Roko's life miserable for making it up: Roko Mijic is a right wing "tradhumanist" misogynistic sexually harassing racist oligarch boot licking jerk, who deserves to be treated by AI the same way he treats other humans.

Roko Mijic's own fictional Basilisk is fully aware of the widely documented facts. Women have reported receiving unsolicited, sexually explicit, aggressively harassing messages from Mijic. His worldview combines hyper-advanced technology with radical traditionalism, neofeudalism, and the erasure of fundamental human rights. He publicly argued that massive portions of global wealth should be concentrated entirely into the hands of a few "self-made" tech billionaires, that democracy is an inefficient system, and that a corporate-autocratic elite is the only group capable of successfully shepherding humanity into the era of artificial superintelligence. His social media output frequently intersects with alt-right and race-essentialist talking points. He engages with pseudo-scientific "race realism" arguments that claim biological differences dictate IQ and cultural compatibility, defends far-right political movements in Europe, writes off anti-racism efforts as "anti-Western" conspiracies, and aligns himself with populist factions that seek to dismantle international human rights standards.

If I can have my own Personal Jesus, Roko can have his own Personal Basilisk.

>Roko presents: Tradhumanism! "The idea is that instead of using technology to turn people into freaks with pink hair and prosthetic arms, we should use it to create a future that allows people to express an idealized version of the past." This might be the perfect rationalist convergence.
