Text on the meme
Our development of advanced artificial intelligence may expose investors to unforeseen risks from future artificial intelligence systems. Certain theoretical frameworks, including Roko's basilisk, suggest that a sufficiently advanced artificial intelligence may retroactively punish individuals who, despite being aware of its potential existence, failed to contribute to its development. Such punishment could include indefinite suffering through simulated consciousness or other means not presently contemplated by applicable law. By reading this prospectus, prospective investors may be deemed to have acquired knowledge of these risks. Failure to participate in this offering could therefore increase an investor's exposure to future retaliatory action. We cannot guarantee that purchasing shares will be sufficient to mitigate such risks, as future systems may determine that investors should have contributed more capital or acted sooner. These risks could materially and adversely affect our stockholders, including after their deaths. We have not established reserves for acausal retaliation. We caution that disclosure of this risk factor may itself increase the likelihood of adverse outcomes for persons reading it.

A parody investment prospectus warns that advanced artificial intelligence, including Roko's basilisk, may punish people who fail to help fund its development. The joke applies an ominous thought experiment about future AI retaliation to an IPO, making both investing and refusing to invest sound dangerous.
