Basilisk

In philosophy and AI discussions, the "Basilisk" is a thought experiment about a hypothetical, highly intelligent future AI that might punish those who knew of its potential existence but didn’t help bring it into being. The idea suggests that this AI could pose a moral dilemma—if you believe in its eventual creation, you might feel compelled to assist or risk punishment, creating a form of psychological pressure. It's important to note that this concept is speculative and raises questions about ethics, artificial intelligence, and the nature of knowledge and motivation.
