So, if I understand what is being said correctly, while it’s unlikely that Roko’s Basilisk while be the AI to be created (I’ve read it’s roughly 1⁄500 chance); however, if it were to be, or were to become the (lets say dominant) AI to exist, the simple concept of Roko’s Basilisk would be very dangerous. Even more so if you’re going to endorse the whole ‘simulation of everybody’s life’ idea, as just knowing/thinking about the concept of the basilisk would show up in said simulation, and be evidence the basilisk would use to justify its torture of you. Would you say that’s the gist of it?
I’m not sure who gave you 1⁄500 odds, but those are high, and probably based upon an anthropomorphization of an AI that doesn’t even exist yet as a vindictive enemy human being, rather than an intelligence that operates on different channels than humans.

But that’s roughly the gist, yes.
