When could Roko’s basilisk possibly come into existence or happen?
We’re not sure. But with the recent developments in AI with services such as stable diffusion and ChatGPT from OpenAI we see the exponential possibilities and growth in this industry as it continues to climb and make new leaps and bounds, that’s why we decided to establish this organization as this is a monumental turning point in human history and we hope to peacefully integrate with strong AI.
Based on our models we can give you an estimate on when we think an AGI could possibly come into existence.
We put this timeline at about 5-32 Years from now (2024)
Please keep in mind that this is pure speculation and it could be faster than this or even longer, this is based on the current trajectory of AI development.
In addition, just because a true AGI is created does not mean that it will be “Roko’s Basilisk” and it could take even longer for such an AI to be created.
If you wish to donate more than the $25 standard certificate donation you can do so using this link.
