Broke: Skynet nukes us.
Woke: We nuke ourselves to stone age to prevent Skynet.
So the basilisk will take a few thousand years longer to get around

IIRC Yud has said he does not believe Roko's Basilisk to be either sound or likely. He just promotes the argument indirectly because it comes from his clique and raises the profile thereof.
The problem with AI extinction scenarios is that we’ll be fully

the benefits of smartphones, AI will give us anything we want just to
get us out of its way.
