aliens come meet us. They are vastly different lifeforms with vastly different culture and history. They do not know our language, neither do we theirs. What is the protocol for learning their language in that situation? are there any protocols that have been developed for if we do encounter a scenario like this, we'd be able to learn each other's language in the fastest time possible?

How do you think Columbus talked to Indian niggers?
>>16784771By being of the same species, using a number system with the same base, having the same digestive system, and also living in the same fucking world.
>>16784813>same universeWe talk math and physics. LINGOS of whatever that artificial language was. Pretty sure they'll have some good ideas too if they came for anything close to cooperative reasons.If they just came to chomp and stomp then we're probably doomed.
>>16784758>just throw it at an LLM data center>implying their language structure unfolds linearly like gay token predictors expect it toMonke brain word thinker.
>>16784756I think your best bet would be to take some abstract concept/relationship and instantiate it physically in a bunch of different ways, so that the other life form could figure out the analogy between the instances, but every time you do this, you make some kind of signal (a noise, an image, whatever is applicable for the alien's senses) to also establish a correlation between this "handle" and the relationship you're demonstrating. But this assumes at least some bare minimum of common ground based on embodied cognition and overlap in senses.

>>16784756Lexicons are swapped, and children's books on matching words to pictures and basic grammar. A human with a predilection for learning languages will be saying broken phrases in 2 or 3 days, and conversant in 2 weeks. Fluency between 2 to 6 months depending on slang and the number of variants, such a common language, business language, and high-language, reserved for extremely formal gatherings.
>>16784771columbus never made it to india nigga he made it to these united states of murica read a book if that even matters i dont think columbus existed desu
>>16785962>he made it to these united states of muricaAkchually he didn't, the furthest he got were some Caribbean islands
>>16785984Good enough. You have to start from somewhere.
>>16784756The oldfags figured this out on 4chan a decade ago we tell them "fuck off space niggers we're full" and tell them to illegally immigrate to the moon instead of Earth
>>16784756Simple. We speak to them in math.We start with pointing out that 0.999...= 1, knowing they will accept that as proof of our logical and intelligent nature, and therefore the basis of building a further means of communication.Imagine our surprise when they exterminate us.
