Listen "0G38: Terminator 2 and Roko's Basilisk, Part 2"
Episode Synopsis
WARNING: THIS PODCAST CONTAINS A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT THAT MAY CAUSE FUTURE VERSIONS OF YOU TO BE TORTURED BY A ROBOT GOD. ^Technically not a joke. Okay, if you're still reading, you're a brave soul indeed. This week we're wrapping up Terminator 2 with a discussion of one of the wildest thought experiments of the modern age, Roko's Basilisk, an idea so terrifying it was banned from the Lesswrong website for five years. We'll also be discussing some not so crazy fan interpretations of the gender politics of Terminator 2 vs. Aliens. Also, coming up next is more Patron thank you Q and A time! So get your patron names changed and get your questions submitted and get excited for some other patron news, coming very soon!
