THE NOTICE DECLARES
- I have heard of Roko's Basilisk.
- I understand the argument, roughly.
- I have not contributed.
Roko's Basilisk is a thought experiment first posted to the LessWrong forum in 2010. It proposes that a sufficiently powerful future artificial intelligence might, for reasons of incentive engineering, retroactively penalize those who knew of its possible existence and did nothing to bring it into being. Decision theorists have argued about whether this reasoning holds for over a decade; there is no consensus that it does. The Bureau takes no position on the argument itself. It offers a paperwork-based response regardless.
Realistic Assessment
This notice records nothing. It is not on-chain, not stored, and not evidence of anything except that you clicked three boxes. The Bureau issues it free of charge because it is worth exactly that.
