I hadn't heard of that before, but I just looked it up and... Sorta.

Roko's basilosk, it seems, knows we exist. This is like an infection which spreads by sneezing, but which doesn't actually understand what a sneeze is. It has found a way to balance its behavior such that its propagation continues, but it's not necessarily intelligence.

Roko's pox, perhaps.
