Roko’s basilisk is a thought experiment proposed in 2010 by the user Roko on the Less Wrong community blog. Roko used ideas in decision theory to argue that a sufficiently powerful AI agent would have an incentive to torture anyone who imagined the agent but didn't work to bring the agent into existence.
Hey there! Hello!
Computer updates, especially smaller security updates, contain security information for new bugs, malware, viruses, etc. that have been written since your last update. So many of these are written for computers at any given time, meaning that keeping your computer updated is a significant step in keeping your computer's defense systems working. Paired up with legit anti-malware, virus protection software, good computer knowledge, and common sense, your computer can remain very safe from these viruses.
Otherwise, there might be some bug or irregularity within your computer's system itself that was accidentally released an update or two ago by the creators of your computer's software, which may also pose a threat for your computer system. Updating your computer can most likely fix problems like these. But, more commonly, they just keep your computer up to date on the vicious computer threats that are now available for it since the previous update.
Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you have any. :-)
If this is on personal opinion, I would say the initial creation of the telephone. Even though a smartphone practically kickstarted a whole era to technology that is still going on till this day, it was the telephone that started this all. If it wasn’t for the idea to create a phone that is more advanced than a box attached to the wall, none of these advancements would’ve happened at all. (Although that is uncertain, things do tend to have a way of working out in the end. If someone didn’t invent it, another person would’ve thought of it sooner or later.) But that is only if we’re talking long term, which I prefer because there was no limit to when the results of impact started in the prompt stated above, yet if we were to speak short term and the faster one, the credit would go to the smart cellphone. But we aren’t, because the question never specified ;)
C. ">" denotes the end of an element. For instance <b>Hello!</b> or <hr />
