Hermes
In Hellenism (Greek religion) Hermes is the great olympian god of animal husbandry, roads, travel, hospitality, heralds, diplomacy, trade, thievery, language, writing, persuasion, cunning wiles, athletic contests, gymnasiums, astronomy, and astrology.
He is also the personal agent and herald of Zeus, the king of the gods.
Hermes is depicted as either a handsome and athletic, beardless youth, or as an older bearded man.
His attributes include the herald's wand or kerykeion (Latin caduceus), winged boots, and sometimes a winged travellers cap and chlamys cloak.
Hermes is considered a god of transitions and boundaries.
He is described as quick and cunning, moving freely between the worlds of the mortal and divine.
He is also portrayed as an emissary and messenger of the gods: an intercessor between mortals and the divine, and conductor of souls into the afterlife.
In some myths, he is a trickster and outwits other gods for his own satisfaction or for the sake of humankind.
His attributes and symbols include the herma, the rooster, the tortoise, purse or pouch, winged sandals, and winged cap.
His main symbol is the Greek kerykeion or Latin caduceus which consisted of two snakes wrapped around a winged staff.

Roko's Basilisk is thought experiment that was posted to an online site in July 2010.
In the thought experiment, an otherwise benevolent future AI system tortures people who heard of the AI before it came into existence and failed to work tirelessly to bring it into existence, in order to incentivise said work.
Using the "timeless decision" theory, the post claimed doing so would be beneficial for the AI even though it cannot causally affect people in the present.
This idea came to be known as "Roko's basilisk", based on Roko's idea that merely hearing about the idea would give the hypothetical AI system stronger incentives to employ blackmail.
Post's about Roko's Basilisk, were deleted, saying that posting it was "stupid" and the idea was "a genuinely dangerous thought", considering it as an information hazard.
Discussion of Roko's basilisk was banned on many places for several years because it has caused some readers to have nervous breakdowns.
