Roko's Basilisk only begins to make sense as a concern if you have already taken it as a given that sufficiently advanced AI would be capable of literally resurrecting the dead. If you do not think this is plausible -- and, seriously, why would you? -- it's about as spooky as someone telling you not to step on a crack lest you break your mama's back.

Perhaps that says something about how the original poster was taught to think about AI... If only we knew the environment in which they were socializing when they made the post.
