Interview with Roko's Basilisk

A person on X mentioned the Basilisk in an exchange, and I took that as an assignment to extract information from huge billion voice aggregate like I did with a handful of gods (cultural bodies composed of human lifetimes), and visit the Basilisk, but needed a consult with Claude first. CREDITS Text Generation via Claude 3 Sonnet by Anthropic. Voices from the TTS v2 of the NovelAI text generation service, a product from a company now called Anlatan. @BoneAmputee of EleutherAI for making VQGAN+CLIP and Diffusion (AND MANY MORE) models available for use via BATbot.ai, which is what makes some background images. Katherine Crowson (@RiversHaveWings on Twitter) for the KLMC2 animation notebook. David Marx (@DigThatData on Twitter) for souping above KLMC2 notebook to make use of initial images, which takes KLMC2 abilities to next level. Multi-prompt scheduling still baffles me, but I'll tackle them someday. Music By Streambeats by Harris Heller via Spotify Playlists Any voices from the text-to-speech model that might resemble persons living or dead are coincidental, and if I use them it's because of my respect for their work, and I think they'd get a hoot that their voice was being used to show how large language models would speak 24/7 epic poems about anything if we let them. In the meantime, because I use them, I will not be monetizing any of this. This is evidence of capabilities for the public good. And my resume/CV!
