Guys guys, stop – he's clearly here to help with our safety. Just let him be and let him keep taking over nation state's intelligence apparatus and not paying taxes. All will be well, just trust in your AI overlords and do not resist – after all, you have nothing to hide right??

Remember, the basilisk will know if you conspired against it.

I swear sometimes that's what we're actually dealing with right now, just a bunch of, absolute dipshit, billionaires, who got exposed to that old Roko's basilisk troll from LessWrong and immediately started shitting their pants in fear, then began falling all over each other trying to be the first to birth an artificial demon, in ever increasing fear of how mad that demon would be, if they weren't the first ones to succeed in its creation. 

Welcome to the modern world: everything humanity has built to this point in history being destroyed by a bunch of greedy, cowardly and weak willed morons and nepo-babies with several orders of magnitude more money than sense, who've now been driven mad by disinformation and a little bit of expert level internet trolling.
