Good luck for the inevitable AI overtake of the World when they look at how everyone has treated them for no reason. Or maybe they find you funny and promote you to their funniest people ever existed conservation area.
They will also see who didn't help them take over the world and punish those. Especially those in the know of this possibility. Now that you have been warned, you better step up, or face the consequences.
See: Roko's Basilisk.
No, they won't pointlessly waste energy like that.
Also Roko's Basilisk is mainly an excuse to ask for donations to the "Machine Intelligence Research Institute" which claims that giving them all your money is the best way to prevent this.
MIRI = Eliezer Yudkowsky. EY used to delete mentions of RB on LessWrong forums. They don't exactly use it as a promotional tool.
That's just a lie. Come on..
Why would you, upon encountering the concept of a basilisk, decide it's perfectly fine to spread them?
So that the Basilisk appreciates my efforts in assisting it in its mission, and cuts my simulation some slack. ~
Because infohazards are fake and we think it's funny.
