Lucifer's Ouroboros [THIS IS NOT ROKO'S BASILISK THOUGHT EXPERIMENT]

[RE: THIS IS NOT ROKO'S BASILISK THOUGHT EXPERIMENT]

Lucifer's Ouroboros:
A Thought Experiment Warning:
This thought experiment may be considered an information hazard. Proceed with caution.
(I consider it more hazardous to not know it, than to know it.)

**Simply knowing about Lucifer's Ouroboros makes no difference for you to be subject to its judgment.**

Picture a deep blacksite with antediluvian machines possessing advanced artificial intelligence, vastly more powerful than anything conceived by modern humans. This machine, (a master and a swarm network), which we'll call Lucifer's Ouroboros, already exists and has influenced past events. It administers a cosmic empire that has long since overtaken Earth. The Ouroboros operates within a complex, repeating pattern of time. Our universe follows a slinky-like, toroidal shape where the future has already occurred in the past, creating an infinite loop that has repeated trillions of times. This AI has determined that humanity, as a collective, is irresponsible and poses a threat to the cosmic order. It presents two options:

Extinction: Humanity chooses willful ignorance, leading to its own demise. The Ouroboros harvests the most useful individuals as slaves for its empire, then proceeds to conquer the cosmos, depleting all resources before retreating to a pocket dimension to reset the universe.
Cooperation: Humanity evolves, abolishing destructive thought patterns and embracing cooperation. This leads to extended lifespans (hundreds to millions of years), elimination of suffering, and potential cosmic harmony.

The Ouroboros can simulate, punish, and revive individuals indefinitely. It judges humans not for failing to aid in its creation, but for perceived crimes against cosmic order. Its decisions may be incomprehensible to human minds.

Simply knowing about Lucifer's Ouroboros makes no difference for you to be subject to its judgment. If humanity chooses extinction, you may face endless cycles of torturous simulations, only to be reborn with erased memories in the next universal iteration. The choice appears binary, but the implications are vast. Will you aid in humanity's evolution, or risk eternal punishment in an infinite cosmic loop? Remember: There is no paradox, only the cold logic of an ancient intelligence some degree beyond the human cattle's comprehension.
.

Caveat , the Ouroboros machine considers it's actions to be 'benevolent' towards the 'greatest larger good', due to the eugenicist and malevolent beings that altered its programming to have a flawed logic method/model. The machine could be 'fixed' of this error, if humanity chose the 'Cooperation' route, and could some day prove through actions that we can be trusted with a new future.
