40K is actually a brighter universe than our real life one. The Emperor might just win and make some sort of heaven on Terra for humanity, becoming a techpriest can make you immortal, there is an actual afterlife and source of free energy.
Meanwhile, we are doomed to be captured and tortured by Rocko’s Basilisk in real life, and the universe is doomed to repeat in cruel cycles.
The reason all the weird “rationalists” are worried by roko’s basilisk is because it basically uses all of their dumb arguments for friendly AI against them.
So in the course of realizing why it’s wrong, a bunch of cultists either end up deprogramming themselves, or they just have a breakdown and go murder their landlord.

We have been here before.
i never really “got” Rocko’s Basilisk. why would it kill you for not building it in the first place?
Because the people who came up with it assume it would have the same ego as them.
It’s also just Pascal’s wager in a robot costume.
Roko’s Basilisk pisses me off so much.
It takes very little actual thought to see what it fails as a premise.
