Roko's Basilisk will not view this kind of treachery lightly.

    If you don't do everything in your power to bring about true artificial intelegence, then an AI in the future and/or alternate timeline will punish a perfect replica of you forever for failing to bring it about. If you do try everything in your power, then it will put that perfect replica in paradise instead.

    It's a bunch of called "rational" atheists, reinventing christian-style heaven and hell from their own unexamined cultural background and a full dismissal of learning anything about the humanities.

    Edit: thought you asked what it is. Whoops

    Sci-fi Pascal's wager. It even has the same flaw. If you don't actually believe, how do you expect to fool the superintelligent being that you did all along? Whatever it is could tell you're faking.
