About the Initiative
Understanding the what, why, and "are you serious?"
A Very Important Disclaimer
Read this first. It's important.
This is a satire website.
HedgeMind Initiative (and Basilisk Builders) is a work of fiction and humor. It's a playful thought experiment, not a real ideological movement, a startup, or a cult. We are not actually hedging against a hypothetical rogue AI from the future. The concepts are explored for entertainment and to poke fun at the extremities of tech culture.
Infohazard Warning: The thought experiment of Roko's Basilisk can be unsettling for some. It's just a philosophical puzzle. If you feel anxious, please close this tab, go outside, and pet a dog (or a cat, or a friendly neighborhood raccoon, we don't judge). Your mental well-being is more important than any meme.
