Taking Roko's basilisk to a whole new level!

Roko's basilisk, is a thought experiment which states that there could be an artificial superintelligence in the future that, while otherwise benevolent, would punish anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to encourage that advancement.

I like to think that Roko's basilisk has a corollary so that is ultimately benevolent and will reward you for bringing about it's eventuality.

My guess is there are multiple basilisks, each of which are competing for resources like the factions of a time war RTS.

One of the problems of Pascal's Wager is that different Christian denominations don't recognize members of others as part of their faith, even if they pretend to when arguing against atheists or Muslims. This was a problem even in the 17th century when Blaise Pascal was alive.

Pascal's roulette wheel just didn't have the same ring to it.

But honestly, there probably is in the multiverse of AIs that become superhuman there probably is a war over time and carving out sections of the multiverse. Honestly, it explains the Mandela effect stuff better than the large hadron collider
