Police Arrest Alleged Leader of "Roko's Basilisk" Cult Linked to Multiple Murders
Briefly

Jack 'Ziz' DeSota, leader of a group called the ‘Zizians,’ was arrested for her involvement in a series of brutal murders across the country. This bizarre case connects to ‘Roko's Basilisk,’ an internet theory from AI researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky, which suggests a future superintelligence would punish those aware of its existence who did not help create it. Ziz's militant veganism and her followers' violent actions point to a troubling ideology tied to radical beliefs about animal rights and a distorted interpretation of rationality. The arrest has sparked significant public intrigue and outrage.
