One part of this that is often missed is that Roko's Basilisk isn't positing an evil AI torturing people for teh evils, it's about a good guy utilitarian AI that is justly torturing perfect simulations of past AI researchers for failing to bring about benevolent AI with sufficient urgency (this will motivate present-day AI researchers to bring about AI utopia sooner). I need to clarify this because I find the actual thought experiment even funnier

Isn't the sole purpose of Roko's basilisk to torture anyone who chose not to help in its creation?
