"If unlikely thing happens, then an unrelated miracle will also happen" is not actually how logic works.

"If unlikely thing happens, then an unrelated miracle will also happen" is not actually how logic works.
- Planktonne 8d agoThere's no logic here already; the principle you should be applying is Hitchen's razor[1]. There is no reason to assume that super intelligent evil AI with magic powers will appear; while we are purely in the realm of (hackneyed) fantasy, why stop at imagining just one thing? You can build the whole story, not just the basilisk. The parent comment is a story, not a prediction; it should be treated like one.
