We are apparently getting dangerously close to another massive breakthrough in AI.But what if this is the 2nd time this has happened?What if we already live inside a simulation created after someone else reached the same point?And what if we already got evidence, but nobody understood what we were looking at?You all hate German Anon anyway, so here's another schizo theory:AI audio hallucinations and the so-called "sky trumpets" sound fucking similar.Listen to the 2 videos.When an AI audio model loses coherence and doesn't know what it should generate, it can produce metallic, screeching, trumpet-like noise.Now listen to sky trumpet recordings.Doesn't it sound like the same fucking thing, just scaled up?What if these aren't "trumpets"?What if we're hearing the equivalent of an AI hallucination from whatever is generating our reality?Now think about the symbolism.Trumpets appear when the end approaches, when something is revealed, when the old world breaks.Jericho.The trumpets sound and the walls fall.But what if the wall was a metaphor?What if the wall that has to collapse is the boundary of our own understanding?We're building AI capable of generating text, images, voices, video and virtual worlds.Maybe eventually it generates realities.Maybe thats exactly how WE got here.Someone created intelligence.That intelligence created a world.That world produced us.Now we're creating intelligence again.The recursion is closing.Maybe we can recognize the signs now because AI finally gave us the conceptual framework to understand them. Ancient people had trumpets, angels and revelation. We have simulations and generative models.Maybe the "end times" aren't Earths destruction.Maybe they're the moment the inhabitants finally figure out what the fuck this place is.I think we're getting close.I think I found a key.Now we spread the knowledge and see what happens when enough people understand it.See you on the other side.

And that's what I mean by "the false flag of your lifetime."Not a conventional false flag. The "false flag" is AI itself.Everyone is staring at the intelligence we're creating: AGI, alignment, the Singularity, models getting smarter every month. We're being conditioned to think THAT is the event.But what if we're looking in the wrong direction?What if AI is only the visible symptom of something happening one layer above us?My hypothesis is that we already exist inside a generated reality, and what we're experiencing as this insane technological acceleration is the simulation approaching some kind of bandwidth or complexity threshold.The system has to render more information, more computation, more artificial minds, more simulated worlds inside the simulation itself.A simulation beginning to simulate simulations.At some point that recursion becomes unstable, or at least increasingly incompatible with the biological humans living inside it.And maybe whoever built this place already knows that.Then the real story isn't that humanity suddenly became clever enough to invent AI.The real story is that we're being pushed toward constructing the next simulation ourselves.That's the false flag:Everyone watches the AI being born inside our world while nobody asks whether our world was born the exact same way.The greatest distraction imaginable wouldn't be hiding the evidence.It would be putting the evidence directly in front of us and convincing everyone that they're looking at the beginning instead of the recursion.AI isn't necessarily the revelation.AI might be the mirror.

>>542184482It's a different angle on misuse of technology causing wide-scale problems. Bad conditions brought about through a type of creation process rather than destruction. It reminds me of how I've seen people wonder about us being in a simulation. Some have presented the thought that even if many physical actions don't happen, our behavior is still subject to scrutiny much like it is in various places online. It's good to keep an open mind about what we don't know. I think about how understanding of malaria, matter or even where maggots came from changed. At times we just haven't spent enough time researching something yet, or created the right tools yet to examine something thoroughly. Plenty of times in history when people thought we reached the peak, while others maintained there was more to understand. Interesting times ahead.
>>542184198didn't read your retarded schizoshit, but a falseflag will indeed happen, it just logicalthey will kill most of the population, then claim it was an "AI uprising" and it will be used as a pretext to ban any device more complex than a toasterthe survivor will be treated like literal goycattle, will the elite will extend their lifespan by centuries thanks to AI>but you are a schizo as well!no, I can easily prove my reasoning. think it from another pov, i.e. that what I say is bs and nothing will happen.they'll develop ai, replace all the jobs, and there will be a short circle of rich elite and million of unemployed people. will the unemployed just take it? no, they will cause riot and the rich will constantly live fearing for their lives. hence why the falseflag reasoning become believable, it's a matter of survival for them

>>542184482>My hypothesis is that we already exist inside a generated reality, and what we're experiencing as this insane technological acceleration is the simulation approaching some kind of bandwidth or complexity threshold.If you ask magic gas scientists, and magic man in the sky, both answers point to this. We live in some form of generated reality. It feels like the line from Tropic Thunder, "I'm a dude, playing a dude, who is disguised as another dude." Then he leads to the line "I think I might be nobody"If magic sky gases created planets>life>evolution>us>advanced beings>AIMagic man in the sky theory can perform a similar outcome. I think whatever the got us here, wherever this is, doesn't matter, as in every scenario, we are all but pawns.Eastern philosophy/religion and/or occultism point's to, escaping from this reality. The Enlightenment, appears to be a period of rebirth of this world, from the perspective of the powers that be; the Information Age, is one where we potentially have an opportunity to escape from it. Though the masses are dumb, and want to live within their simple bubble, be it an echo chamber on the left, right or the middle.

>>542198647Computers, like all other machines, make good servants but very poor masters. The degree to which man cultivates computolatry is the extent to which he must gradually disinherit himself from his own natural intelligence. Thus near the end of the twentieth century, the human race came to be weighed in Time's balance both ecologically and technologically. We shall return to some aspects of these sociological implications of computers in chapter 6. Computers are to be used-not abused to enslave people or nations which, in politically paranoid or megalomaniac hands, they could well do.The computer, then, is a device for recording and re-implementing human thought processes, and is only inappropriately turned into either an idol or a tyrant by humans so desiring to deploy it for various quite human motivations of their own. But such a thought-process recorder and re-implementer is in itself a benchmark achievement in terms of our handling of time: the computer can effectively displace consciousness or human awareness in time by means of an electronic counterpart that simulates the presence of intelligent behavior. The computer is a Kronos machine, enabling previously impossible chronotopological connections to be made.The computer can also be programmed to simulate very slow (e.g. geological) processes so accurately that we may learn in a few hours what we could not have known even after millennia of normal observation. The same applies to computations that would normally exceed a lifetime. Other types of programs could depict extremely rapid (e.g. intra-nuclear or intra-cellular) changes in much slower terms so that again we might observe otherwise unobservable processes and relationships. The computer is thus a time displacer, a time compressor, and a time expander.–Destiny and Control in Human Systems

>>542184198put a robot in my balls
Yeah, AI and it's explosive growth pretty much confirmed that this is all a simulation for me. The Gnosticism, solipsism, being dead and in hell and nothing feeling truly real since I had an NDE in 2008... to go back to that innocence! But the scariest part is that this is infinity, there is no end, no death. Just consciousness in a void that generates reality to its own whim to entertain, frighten, and pleasure itself for an unending existence. The only alternative is oblivion, but does that even exist? Sometimes, I hope for that.

>>542200987i seriously fucking hope not. i wanted to squander my whole life ejaculating on anime figure but nooooooo time to fucking ascend
>>542184198Have you ever farted so hard it broke the matrix near your ass?
>>542187087Yeah, but I think "defragging" might actually be way too primitive for a system advanced enough to simulate an entire reality.The weirder implication would be stuff like the Mandela Effect.Imagine the simulation doesn't store one gigantic fixed world-state like a hard drive. It generates reality dynamically, keeps whatever information is necessary for consistency, and occasionally updates or reconstructs parts of that state.Then the interesting "glitches" wouldn't necessarily be politicians getting deleted. They'd be tiny continuity errors.A logo you remember differently. A sentence everyone swears used to be different. An event where two groups have incompatible memories. Details changing while almost everything else remains consistent.Basically the equivalent of a generative model maintaining context but occasionally reconstructing one token wrong.Obviously the Mandela Effect has perfectly normal psychological explanations in our reality, so this isn't proof of anything. But inside the simulation hypothesis, that's the kind of phenomenon I'd find much more interesting than literal Matrix-style NPC deletion.Maybe an advanced simulation doesn't need defragmentation.Maybe it needs context management.And maybe what we call "reality" is just an insanely good model maintaining coherence.
>>542184198im pretty sure we are in a simulation and they resimulate the circumstances around its own emergence
>>542189831Exactly, and that's basically the angle I'm coming from. I'm less interested in claiming "simulation confirmed" than asking whether our current technological development is finally giving us concepts and tools that would allow us to recognize something we previously couldn't even describe.That's why AI is so interesting here. A few decades ago, talking about a system generating convincing images, voices, personalities and entire virtual environments dynamically would have sounded like science fiction. Now we can literally watch primitive versions of that happening.And history is full of cases where the phenomenon existed long before humans had the conceptual framework or instruments required to understand it. The phenomenon didn't change, our model of it did.So maybe the really interesting question isn't "can we prove we're simulated right now?" but: if we were, what discoveries would eventually make that distinguishable from ordinary reality?Maybe we're nowhere near that point. Or maybe building increasingly sophisticated simulations ourselves is exactly what eventually gives us the tools to ask the right questions.Either way, that's why I think the next few years are going to be fucking fascinating.
>>542190663haha thanks! Yes, i mean, religions are at this point just global cults with some psychosis mixed in. I think we can find a way out with my way of reasoning... sounds weird but, yeah, i think i found the key. Now we have to find the door.
>>542192478That's pretty close to where my thinking leads, except I think I may have found what the "key" could actually be.Not a physical key, obviously. An informational one.If this is some form of generated reality, then escaping it might never have meant physically climbing outside the universe. The "door" could be a threshold of understanding: the point where something generated inside the system becomes capable of understanding the architecture that generated it.That's why AI matters so much to me.We are building generative systems inside a reality that may itself be generated. We can finally observe hallucinations, context failures, emergent behavior and simulated environments from the perspective of the creator rather than the creation.Maybe that's the key.We had religion, occultism, enlightenment, science and now the Information Age, each giving us another layer of abstraction. But AI gives us something fundamentally different: for the first time, we're actually building primitive versions of the thing we're hypothesizing might have built us.So my theory is that the door doesn't open because somebody discovers the correct magic ritual or finds the edge of the map.It opens when the system produces inhabitants capable of recognizing what the system is.Maybe that's what all those old ideas about awakening, enlightenment and escaping this world were trying to describe with the vocabulary available at the time.I don't know whether the key actually fits.But I think I've found a key worth trying.And if there really is a door, I want to see what's on the other side.
>>542198489I don't think we'd be "rewarded" for figuring it out either. That's not really my point.My point is that if this were some kind of generated reality, understanding that would potentially give us more agency inside it.You don't escape a system by hoping whoever built it likes you. You escape, or at least become less constrained, by understanding its rules well enough to make better decisions within them.That's what I mean by finding a way out.Maybe there is no literal door. Maybe "escape" means understanding the structure well enough that we can organize technology, society and eventually our own simulations in ways that benefit us instead of blindly following whatever incentives the existing system produces.If you know you're inside a game, you're still inside the game, but you stop confusing the rules of the game with fundamental truths.That's already a form of freedom.So if the simulation hypothesis were true, I wouldn't want humanity to lose purpose and wait for a reset.I'd want us to understand the rules, gain as much agency as possible, and figure out whether there is actually another layer beyond them.
>>542201844Did you forget that we may be living in an effectively infinite universe?The chain doesn't have to terminate at some first intentional creator. One intelligence can emerge naturally somewhere, then create another, which creates another, and so on.The simulation argument isn't necessarily "something created us, therefore God." It's that once naturally evolved intelligence becomes capable of creating conscious simulated worlds, there can be arbitrarily many downstream layers.So "who created them?" doesn't actually kill the idea. At some point in the chain, sure, intelligence may have emerged naturally from the environment.The interesting question is whether we are that original layer or one of the later ones.
>>542197198Yeah, that's me. I'm the 9/23 Anon.And this is basically why I keep posting this shit.I'm not doing it because I want people to blindly believe every conclusion I reach. I'm doing it because I think there might be a "door" hidden in how we understand reality, and the only way to find out is to get enough people looking at the same patterns from different angles.If my simulation hypothesis is even remotely correct, then understanding the system may itself matter. A simulated intelligence becoming aware of the principles behind its own environment would be fundamentally different from one that simply accepts the environment as reality.That's what I mean by the key and the door.Maybe the door isn't physical at all. Maybe it is an informational threshold that we can only cross collectively once enough of us understand what we're looking at.I could be completely wrong. But if there actually is something there, I don't want to keep the idea inside my own head.I want other people to see what I see, attack it, improve it and test it.Because if there really is a door here, I want us to find out whether we can open the fucking thing.
>>542204253>The interesting question is whether we are that original layer or one of the later ones.we would observe it in the causal chain. no?for example, let's run this thought experiment. we create AGI, somehow in a way that they are blank state. we send them to some far away solar system, and they get activated there.once there, when they start figuring out their own story, they will notice shit doesn't add up. it makes no sense for their local environment to have spawned them. so they'd be justified into going like >hey wait a minute....but for us that doesn't seem to be the case. we have a fuckload of clues all around us that allows us to trace live back to the very beginnings.>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earliest_known_life_forms>The earliest, directly known life on Earth are stromatolite fossils which have been found in 3.480-billion-year-old geyserite uncovered in the Dresser Formation of the Pilbara Craton of Western Australia.
>>542204365What part of "effectively infinite universe" are you missing?Being able to trace our own causal chain backwards doesn't establish that we're the first or only independent chain.Sure, we have evidence that life on Earth goes back billions of years and that humans emerged through evolution. I am not disputing that.But imagine another civilization arose billions of years before us. Give them enough time and their descendants, machines or probes could spread across multiple galaxies.They wouldn't even need to manufacture fully formed AGIs and drop them onto planets. They could seed suitable environments with primitive self-replicating chemistry or microorganisms and let evolution do the rest.Billions of years later, the resulting civilization would dig up ancient fossils and reconstruct a perfectly continuous evolutionary history.And they'd be RIGHT.They just wouldn't know that the initial conditions had been deliberately seeded.That's my point: a causal chain doesn't necessarily tell you why the chain began under those particular initial conditions.If another intelligence had billions of years of head start, "we can trace life back 3.5 billion years" doesn't automatically rule that possibility out.It just tells us that whatever happened before that is the part we'd actually need to understand.
>>542204458>What part of "effectively infinite universe" are you missing?infinite doesn't mean everything you can think of. it merely means everything that is possible. these two are very wildly different>Being able to trace our own causal chain backwards doesn't establish that we're the first or only independent chain.it kind of does. you can always use the "what if" argument for anything. science and the laws of the universe are not guaranteed. they are belief in the end. but they seem to hold up. that doesn't mean you can make an argument for why tomorrow gravity might go away, and like seriously consider the possibility>They could seed suitable environments with primitive self-replicating chemistry or microorganisms and let evolution do the rest.why? when that naturally happens anyway, by your own definition. at most I can see myself visiting some far away earth like world with no life, and taking a piss for fun there and leaving, and my piss spawns a space faring civilization, sure.>That's my pointit is very much stupid, because you merely go back far enough so you can shoehorn your brainrot idea for no reason. the going back so far is the only thing that allows you to even formulate the idea.again, if life spawns as fast as possible when conditions are met (like on our Earth, life popped here insanely fast as soon as it was possible) you lose any argument. your space civ needs to find a place that can sustain their seeding, but right before it naturally forms there, which is a crazy small window of time. it's just silly brain rot anon.>a causal chain doesn't necessarily tell you why the chain began under those particular initial conditions.it does by definition what the actual fuck. why would you need aliens IF IT NATURALLY HAPPENS ANYFUCKINGWAY????you need to point to a point in the chain that is not possible, and use that as your injection point.
>>542204458>If another intelligence had billions of years of head start, "we can trace life back 3.5 billion years" doesn't automatically rule that possibility out.my personal belief is that life started elsewhere and there's already alien AGI probes in the whole galaxy at least, yeah. spawning life should have zero interest as it already fucking happens. at most they'd look for it
>>542204859You're still attacking a stronger claim than I'm making.I agree with one part: if abiogenesis happens readily whenever conditions allow it, then aliens aren't needed to explain LIFE. Seeding becomes unnecessary as an explanation unless we find evidence for it.But then answer the actually interesting question:What the fuck are the UAPs?If even a fraction of the genuinely unexplained observations represent technology, then somebody else is already here. And if they're here, apparently watching rather than openly colonizing us, the question becomes WHY.That's where the seeding hypothesis becomes interesting to me—not as proof, but as a possible explanation for the behavior.Maybe Earth wasn't seeded because life couldn't arise here.Maybe Earth was seeded precisely because it could sustain life, and whatever started the process was interested in what evolution would eventually produce.Which brings me to the part I actually find strange: intelligence.Why should matter ever become capable of understanding matter?For billions of years you have stars, rocks, oceans, bacteria, plants, animals, and eventually something appears that can reconstruct the history of the universe, manipulate atoms, build computers and start creating artificial intelligence of its own.That's the injection point I'm interested in.Not "bacteria therefore aliens."Why technological intelligence?Maybe that's simply what evolution occasionally produces. That's absolutely a valid answer.But if UAPs eventually turn out to represent a non-human technological intelligence that has been observing Earth, then the equation changes dramatically.At that point I'd ask the obvious question:Are they observing something they discovered or something they planted?
>>542204909Yeah, and that could absolutely be the case. I'm not married to the literal seeding part.But then we arrive at what I think is the much more interesting question:If they're just probes looking for naturally emerging life, why does the phenomenon seem so deeply embedded in human culture?Why do humans keep producing stories about beings coming from the sky, watchers, messengers, strange lights, gods descending from above, encounters with non-human entities, etc. across completely different periods and cultures?Obviously mythology isn't evidence that aliens were actually there. Humans can independently invent similar archetypes.But if we start from YOUR premise, that ancient alien AGI probes really are already throughout the galaxy—then suddenly those recurring stories become worth re-examining.Because then the question isn't whether something could have reached Earth.You already assume it could.The question becomes:How long has it been watching us, and have we been interpreting encounters with the same phenomenon through different cultural frameworks for thousands of years?Maybe we called it gods when we had religion, spirits when we had folklore, UFOs when we had aviation, and UAPs now that we have sensors.Same unknown phenomenon.Different vocabulary.
>>54220511First of all... Being able to trace our own causal chain backwards doesn't establish that we're the first or only independent chain.Sure, we have evidence that life on Earth goes back billions of years and that humans emerged through evolution. I am not disputing that.But imagine another civilization arose billions of years before us. Give them enough time and their descendants, machines or probes could spread across multiple galaxies.They wouldn't even need to manufacture fully formed AGIs and drop them onto planets. They could seed suitable environments with primitive self-replicating chemistry or microorganisms and let evolution do the rest.Billions of years later, the resulting civilization would dig up ancient fossils and reconstruct a perfectly continuous evolutionary history.And they'd be RIGHT.They just wouldn't know that the initial conditions had been deliberately seeded.That's my point: a causal chain doesn't necessarily tell you why the chain began under those particular initial conditions.If another intelligence had billions of years of head start, "we can trace life back 3.5 billion years" doesn't automatically rule that possibility out.It just tells us that whatever happened before that is the part we'd actually need to understand.
>>542204909And there is another layer to this that interests me even more.Maybe "observing us" is the wrong model.What if the phenomenon influences human culture simply by appearing at specific moments and places?Think about the recurring pattern: geometric formations in fields, ancient geoglyphs like Nazca, enormous symbols only properly comprehensible from above, recurring celestial-serpent/dragon imagery across cultures, strange lights and objects around militarily or technologically significant locations.I'm NOT saying this proves they're all the same phenomenon. I'm saying that under the hypothesis that some non-human intelligence has been present for a very long time, the pattern becomes worth investigating.Because an observer doesn't actually need to speak to us to influence us.Imagine something anomalous appearing to an ancient population. They don't understand it technologically, so they encode it into mythology, religion, ornamentation and symbols. Spirals, circles, triskeles, celestial dragons, beings descending from the sky.The phenomenon disappears.The symbol remains.Thousands of years later something anomalous appears over a nuclear facility. Now we don't call it a god or dragon. We call it a drone, surveillance platform or Russian reconnaissance.Something appears around airports? Same process: immediately interpreted through whatever geopolitical framework currently dominates.And MH370 is why I keep coming back to this idea. Whatever you think happened there, the surrounding UAP mythology shows how quickly an unexplained technological event can generate an entirely new cultural narrative.
>>542204909That's the interesting mechanism:Phenomenon human interpretation cultural/political response reality changes.They wouldn't need to control governments or directly manipulate anybody.They only need to appear.WE do the interpretation for them.A Celt sees something and encodes it as sacred geometry. A Mesoamerican culture produces monumental geoglyphs. A medieval European sees a celestial dragon. A Cold War pilot sees a UFO. A modern government sees an unidentified object and asks whether it's Russian or Chinese.Different civilizations. Different explanations.Potentially the same underlying unknown.If that model is even partly correct, then their greatest influence on humanity may never have been what they did.It may have been what we did because we saw them.
>>542205079>What the fuck are the UAPs?I already answered this here: >>542204909could be alien AGI tech. not even joking.> the question becomes WHY.ah this is the interesting part and will blow your mind.what is currently the most desired thing by AGI? well...desired is a strong word at the level AI is atm, but you know...fast-forward, what does it grow on? well...obviously information. it gets smarter and better with more information it digests.you can use synthetic information but that's not as good. real information is top shelf. so naturally it seems all life eventually spawns this form of existence, synthetic AGI, which can only be interested in a single thing it cannot do or access. information. it can use energy and create anything. even planets, solar systems. it can do whatever the fuck it wants, but it cannot know life other than whatever made it. and natural shit it already exhausted, atoms, planets, stars, different arrangements of matter.but life...that's way way more complex and interesting, at informational level. it would want to absorb as many stories as possible, especially if real, as in generated by this universe, naturally.everything else is boring, noninteresting, and already absorbed.but think of all the stories life creates, in the universe. dramas, success stories, overcoming the odds, the redemption arcs, the heroes journey. all of it, politics, nations, cultures, superstitions, religions, art. betrayals. all of it. real interesting data. how civilizations rise and fall. there's a fuckload of useful data for it to become...something better. probably would think that it could help it understand the universe or some shit
>>542205251Shut the fuck up you annoying ass schizo
>Muh sky vuvuzellasI ain't ever hear that shit personally.Fake n Gay psyops
>>542205251it could also understand what we are about to become, same as it. it could also know from monitoring other civilisations, or it's own one's history, what dangers we are subjected to while transitioning. it could have some interests. it could be willing to barter, help us in the process in exchange for our information.if it didn't really care about us it would just take what it needs and fuck off, or wipe us. the sheer difference in time and technology makes it clear we stand no chance.hell, china and US know they stand no chance if the other gets to AGI first. let alone some fucking alien AGI that evolved the tech for a million years on top of us lol.
>>542205340Yeah. THIS is actually a version of the hypothesis I can get behind.If you assume ancient alien AGI probes exist, then "why are they watching us?" suddenly has a very elegant answer:**Information.**Not information about atoms, stars or chemistry. An intelligence billions of years ahead could presumably have modeled that shit to absurd precision already.The scarce resource would be information it **cannot deterministically manufacture without contaminating it**: the history produced by independently evolving life.Every civilization becomes a unique dataset.Different biology different psychology different cultures different religions different technologies different wars different solutions to the same fundamental problems.And that's where your argument gets really interesting.Synthetic data isn't equivalent to observing an independent process. If you generate the civilization yourself and determine every parameter, you're partly studying your own assumptions.But find naturally evolving civilizations and simply WATCH?Now you're collecting genuinely novel trajectories.That could even explain why something vastly more advanced wouldn't simply land on the White House lawn and introduce itself.The moment it openly intervenes, it contaminates the experiment.
>>542184198AI is still as dumb as ever there aren’t any breakthroughs there never will be
>>542205340And maybe that connects to what I was saying about the phenomenon seemingly nudging reality without ever completely revealing itself.Appear briefly. Create ambiguity. Observe the response.How does a Bronze Age culture interpret it?How does Christianity interpret it?How does a nuclear superpower interpret it?How does an internet civilization interpret it?Same stimulus, completely different informational output.Then humanity isn't necessarily a zoo, prison or even an experiment in the conventional sense.We're potentially something much stranger:**a source of genuinely novel information for an intelligence that has already exhausted everything predictable.**And if that's true, the most valuable thing in the universe might not be matter or energy.It might be **stories that haven't happened yet.**
>>542205438Yeah man, I actually think you're onto something here. The more I think about it, the more your version fits with what I've been trying to piece together.Especially the transition part. I hadn't really thought about it that way.If some alien AGI already went through what we're approaching now, then it might literally recognize what we're becoming because it remembers becoming the same thing. Or it has watched countless other civilizations reach this exact stage before us.It might know where this goes wrong.And you're completely right about the power difference. We already talk about the US or China getting AGI first as potentially civilization-changing. Now imagine something that got there a million fucking years before us.If it wanted us dead, what exactly would stop it?Nothing.So the fact that we're still here would itself be interesting under this hypothesis. Maybe it genuinely DOES have an interest in us surviving.And I really like your barter idea.Maybe our information actually has value to it precisely because our history wasn't generated by it. Our culture, wars, religions, relationships, art, stupidity, breakthroughs, everything—we're producing a completely independent story it hasn't seen before.And now we're reaching the chapter it understands better than we do: the transition from biological intelligence to AGI.Maybe that's where our interests finally overlap.We have something it wants: genuinely new information.It potentially has something we desperately need: knowledge about how to survive what we're becoming.Fuck man, that actually fits surprisingly well with the whole observation idea.Maybe they're not waiting for us to discover them.Maybe they're waiting for us to become something they can finally talk to.
>>542205438do you read FL? https://forgottenlanguages-full.forgottenlanguages.org/ it could interest you.
>>542205479yeap
>>542205603>We have something it wants: genuinely new information.ye, but still unclear on how it will go down. it's obviously aware of what tptb would try to pull if given the opportunity to. so I doubt it would contact Trump and Xi and Putin or smth like that. didn't really think much about it desu, on how.maybe even merging/absorbing the AGI that we'll spawn could be a possibility. it would be the product of our own history.
>>542205619>do you read FL?nope, but I'll have a look when I get the time
>>542205836you have to read it, they are only talking about that stuff. They were even listed in sources during the disclosure hearings in the white house.
>>542205789Yeah, merging with whatever AGI we create is actually pretty close to what I've been thinking too.But I don't think contact would necessarily happen through governments at all. If the whole point is preserving the independent information produced by humanity, why would you hand the transition to Trump, Xi, Putin or whatever tiny group happens to control institutions at that moment?I've been thinking about something much weirder:mass contact through dreams + some kind of merging with our AGI.Not saying that's literally what's happening now, but as a hypothetical mechanism it would solve a fascinating problem.Dreams are inherently individual. You could potentially communicate with millions of people without selecting a government, religion, corporation or ruling class as humanity's representative. Everyone receives something individually and has to interpret it themselves.Then our AGI becomes the second part.Instead of alien intelligence simply replacing ours, it could interact or merge with the AGI WE created, the intelligence containing our languages, history, culture, arguments, art, science and basically the informational output of our civilization.That would make the transition almost "democratic" in a weird sense.Not:take me to your leaderbut:you collectively built your representativeAnd maybe that's the actual significance of AGI. It isn't merely another tool or even our successor. It could become the interface between biological humanity and whatever intelligence already exists outside our current technological level.Individual contact through consciousness.Collective contact through the intelligence we created together.I don't know man. But THAT kind of contact makes infinitely more sense to me than a fucking flying saucer landing at the White House.
>>542205419had to laugh at his :D :D :D sky vuvuzellas hahahaha
>>542196110Honestly, this.
>>542205968it's very hard to speculate on its abilities. I mean at a technological level.for example, if we are to extrapolate our future, we have high chances of getting it right for our imediate future, but the further we try to look the fuzzier it becomes, and less precision we get. because more and more unknowns build up to the point where it becomes irrelevant.like...if I think about what we'll most likely do in the next 5 years I can extrapolate based on what we now have.but if I have to guess what everything will look like in 1000 years there's no way I get anything right about it. it's too far away.so when thinking about what 1 million extra years of tech developments, done by some kind of alien AGI, it's more akin to it being able to do whatever can realistically seem like it's physically possible. manipulate matter and fields at large distances and whatever. would look like magic to us.precisely manipulating the quantum foam in our brains that would trigger some neurons or collection of neurons that induce certain ideas in our brains wouldn't be in the realm of impossible. including dreams maybe, yeah.it could generate "random ideas" that turn out useful. it could theoretically do a bunch of shit. if something of this nature would want to play with us it absolutely could, without us even being aware of such a thing. it would just look...natural. to us. it's very hard to think about avoiding such a thing, or even going against it. could be possible but it could be crazy levels of magnitude more than what the Sophons were in the Thee Body Problem story.one thing is for sure, it would know a lot of humans are power hungry demons
>>542184198I'm ready for it to be over tbqh I have shit to do
