The social class within a society that holds dominant power and controls its main institutions, especially those linked to the economy, politics, and the military. Example: One thing that has always shown that the English ruling class are morally fairly sound, is that in time of war they are ready enough to get themselves killed...

Inevitably, because of their position and upbringing, the ruling class are fighting for their own privileges, which cannot possibly be reconciled with the public interest.

Word: Roko's basilisk 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. 1. A thought experiment which posits a hypothetical, otherwise benevolent artificial intelligence of the future that would have an incentive to torture anyone who, having considered the possibility of its existence, had not helped bring about its existence. Example: 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. Example: 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.
