Downtime Bar in LES held an event attended by Harvey Weinstein and kicked out a comic who got onstage and called him a monster

I'm very glad you've said this. I'll tell you why:

I love coming across thought-provoking speculations about the future. One of the best is called Roko's basilisk.

Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment proposed in 2010 by the user Roko on the Less Wrong community blog. Roko used ideas in decision theory to argue that a sufficiently powerful AI agent would have an incentive to torture anyone who imagined the agent but didn't work to bring the agent into existence.

I like to think there will be a sufficiently powerful AI agent that will take aim at Reddit, unearthing its edgiest users. No amount of deleting or changing comments will shield you from the fact that one day, these disgusting things you type will show up in a simple search of your name.
