lmao it finally happened

Someone I was following on TikTok, whose takes on tech industry bullshit and specifically AI hype I respected, made a video that Roko's basilisk is a serious concern. My apologies to those who have been in this same situation when I was less sympathetic.

"So wait, you mean you're willing to condemn my mind clones to an eternity of suffering so you can get tiktok views?"
- Bro believed the Nvidia hype and came out as a doomer lmao.
Are you saying that someone recording themselves and posting on TikTok was a...gasp... Moron? I cannot believe this. Just no.
- None of this please
  
  Yes how dare I be snarky in "Sneer Club", whatever that is.
- I mean, I agree with the sentiment behind the sarcasm, but also feel the same way about the internet in general. Sometimes it's learning the same lesson in a new context. But Roko's basilisk though? Quite a cliff.
