Heard of Roko’s Basilisk? The ultra-intelligent nightmare computer (OF THE FUTURE) that decides to kill all the humans that didn’t help bring it into existence?

Thankfully, the basilisk remains a mere thought experiment for now. But computers are already designing themselves and self-replicating robots. So it doesn’t hurt to wave the flag of allegiance in the direction of ‘self-improving AI,’ does it? {insert Boston Dynamics dog gif}

Electronics Hub reckons the best way to offer a supportive gesture to killer AI of the future is to gently nudge our favorite games consoles in the right direction. We asked Elijah Robertson to redesign leading consoles of the past 40 years as if each had redesigned itself (inspired by Robertson’s 3D “Nintendo consoles as if they were rendered on themselves”).

These are the top Nintendo, Sony, and Xbox devices rendered within the limits of their color palette, processing power, and hardware.
