nah, you got it all wrong. first of all, the AI has (hypothetically) already happened, in the past. the world you perceive to be real is actually a simulation run by the AI. like in that movie THE MATRIX.
your behavior INSIDE the simulation has no impact on the AI, but the AI can harm you for however much and however long it chooses. you can't even permanently die unless the AI allows it. don't anger the AI!!
Roko is the guy who came up with the meme, the meme is the basilisk, and the hypothetical simulation-running AI itself is left unnamed.
