It might be useful to feature a page containing what we, you know, actually think about the basilisk idea. Although the rationalwiki page seems to be pretty solidly on top of google search, we might catch a couple people looking for the source.
If any XKCD readers are here: Welcome! I assume you've already googled what "Roko's Basilisk" is. For a better idea of what's going on with this idea, see Eliezer's comment on the xkcd thread (linked in Emile's comment), or his earlier response here.
I'm guessing Eliezer has one of those, probably locked away behind a triply-locked vault in the basement of MIRI.
See, it's comments like these that are one of the reasons people think LW is a cult.
Does MIRI actually has a basement?
It's behind the hidden door. Full of boxes which say "AI inside -- DO NOT TALK TO IT".
The ghosts there are not really dangerous. Usually.
When I visited MIRI's headquarters, they were trying to set up a video link to the Future of Humanity Institute. Somebody had put up a monitor in a prominent place and there was a sticky note saying something like "Connects to FHI - do not touch".
Except that the H was kind of sloppy and bent upward so it looked like an A.
I was really careful not to touch that monitor.
