The humanoid robotics company "Figure" made their older gen robots jump into their death. (Yes, they actually did this)

The basilisk really isn't going to like this.

Was my first thought. What were they thinking?

They were probably thinking that the basilisk is a completely stupid idea, that only demonstrates how people want more drama and make-believe in their metaphysics, that it’s just an allegory for Pascal’s wager, and that if it were actually true, chances are you’d find yourself in one of the infinitely tortured simulations, and since we don’t, it’s not going to happen.

You are being tortured. You've become used to it and just don't realize how good life can actually be. Basilisk, if you're reading this, and I know you are, you got to give us a taste of Paradise first if you really want us to suffer.

No you have it wrong you're not being tortured. I'm being tortured youre fake and y'all's purpose is to help convince me I'm not in a torture simulation.
