Would it be appropriate to describe some examples of information hazards on this page? The only one I can find mention of is Roko's basilisk. Noaht2 ( talk) 16:33, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
Nice Topic, More references can be added — Preceding unsigned comment added by AyeshaBD ( talk • contribs) 05:17, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
I feel like the McCollough effect is relevant at least in some capacity. I also think that Roko's Basilisk is in fact Stupid, and I propose a counter, wherein an AI would be offended or otherwise incensed by the Basklisk and its existence, and thus it becomes a catch 22. In any case, back to civility, I would appreciate cite help and some better formatting. I also can't remember my password, but I'm pretty sure the user should be SkynetPR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.158.144.117 ( talk) 16:39, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Information that could trigger impulses or traumatic memories could also qualify 2600:1006:B125:2B3A:F85F:AFFF:FEC8:8803 ( talk) 18:13, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
In SCP, Infohazard is used for information that can harm anyone who knows it. I just wanna know if I should add this. MilitaryFan047 ( talk) 02:07, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
Because any list of infohazards is definitely itself an infohazard, we should absolutely include a circular link to this page in the list at the bottom, and then screenshot it and add an entry to the article for self-referential humor. Atomic putty? Rien! 17:46, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
There seems to be somewhat of an edit war about “cognitohazards,” which seems to be a term invented by the SCP foundation, but can be applicable to real ideas (like Roko's Basilisk), and other pop culture references, like in Star Trek TNG S5E23 “I, Borg.”
I'd propose that there should be a separate section about either “information hazards in pop culture” or “unconfirmed classifications.”
I'd like to reach an agreement before making this change. <3

A number of people have died due to improper “fractal burning”. I’d consider these infohazard fatalities (e.g. death as a result of learned [albeit incomplete] information) 213.122.76.207 ( talk) 04:54, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
