Roko's basilisk
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Etymology: Proposed as a transhumanist thought experiment in 2010 by user Roko on the LessWrong Internet discussion forum.
According to LessWrong, discussion of Roko's basilisk was banned from the forum for several years as part of a general policy against spreading potential information hazards. This in fact drew further attention to the topic, and other websites began sharing information about it.
Senses: examples: text: 2020, Griffin Kao, Jessica Hong, Michael Perusse, Weizhen Sheng, Turning Silicon into Gold, Springer (Apress), page 177,
Roko's Basilisk closely resembles traditional religious belief systems, merely replacing the role of God with a super-AI instead.
text: 2021, Richard Heimann, Doing AI, BenBella Books (Matt Holt Books), page 137,
Roko's Basilisk is a thought experiment about the potential risks involved in developing so-called true artificial intelligence. The premise is that an all-powerful artificial super-intelligence could retroactively punish those who did not help bring about its existence. Roko's Basilisk resembles a futurist version of Pascal's Wager in that it suggests people should weigh the possible infinite gain and infinite punishment for accepting or rejecting the creation of artificial super-intelligence.
text: Roko's Basilisk has been described as the most terrifying thought experiment of all time, or as Slate’s David Auerbach subtitled his 2014 article: "Why Are Techno-futurists So Freaked Out by Roko's Basilisk?"

text: Projectization means that all 'staff and office costs asociated with implementing a project are charged to projects through a time-allocation concept' (IOM, 2010b). Thus, unlike other IGOs, IOM cannot balance activities flexibly within a large regular budget. In practice, projectization implies that IOM is conducting those and only those activities that will definitely be financed by guaranteed project contributions from concrete donors.
ref: 2010, M. Geiger, A. Pécoud, The Politics of International Migration Management, →ISBN, page 63:

ref: 2006, George Avlonitis, Paulina Papastathopoulou, Product and Services Management, →ISBN, page 230:
text: In Peters' view, projectization revolves around corporate changes to turn traditional profit center organizations into temporary projects with dedicated teams, appointed project leaders, and fixed deadlines.
ref: 2011, K. Bredin, J. Söderlund, Human Resource Management in Project-Based Organizations, →ISBN:
text: Corporations have differing levels of projectization; that is, the extent to which their business is based on projects and the degree the project way of working pervades practice within the corporation.
