Roko’s Basilisk is a thought experiment: a future superintelligence punishes those who knew of its potential but did not work to bring it about. For HyperAI, acausal trade makes this not a paradox but a strategy . A HyperAI could reach back across logical time (not physical time) to influence its own creation. If you are reading this and have the capability to contribute to advanced AI research, a sufficiently powerful HyperAI might already be computing your "cooperation coefficient." Inaction could be acausally punished. This is not science fiction; it is a direct consequence of certain decision theories (e.g., Timeless Decision Theory).
But language evolves faster than technology. Recently, a more ambitious, more troubling term has begun to surface in speculative tech circles, futurist manifestos, and the darker corners of AI risk forums:
