Needing at least 3 round trips to establish an ssl connection to the alien internet - things won't get interesting for a few thousand years.
- knowledgepowers 4y ago"Responded" could be execution of payload.
- mulmen 4y agoTurns out it is just 18 hours of static.
- nocoiner 4y agoSo many of my favorite references in this thread. I was delighted to find Neuromancer at the top of the comments, and this here.

- mulmen 4y agoThe implication is that the AI follows instructions to make contact but the human operators then misinterpret the results as static.
- LargoLasskhyfv 4y agoHm. That wasn't what I've been referring to. Near the end of the movie Contact, where two higher ranking TLA-agents discuss the lack of evidence for the things the protagonist told, which allegedly happened to her, but weren't captured on anything. Out of my head...One: 'Bla bla bla.' The other: 'Bla bla just static.' One: 'Yes, exactly 18 hours of static.' The other: 'Continue...' Or something like ironically: 'Interesting. Please continue?'
- mulmen 4y agoYes and my implication was that if we replaced those TLA agents with an AGI then the "Interesting. Please continue." might not be asked by a human, or at all because it is "just" (merely, not barely) static. Here is the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeUuFHGj6TM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeUuFHGj6TM.
- LargoLasskhyfv 4y agoWhoa! I remembered that so wrong. Sorry ;->
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 4y agoAre you suggesting an arbitrary celestial signal containing a payload that can execute on heretofore unknown hardware/software of virtually any progeny? Conceivable? Sure. Also about as likely as chatgpt solving the remaining millennium prize problems or spitting out an algorithm to efficiently reverse selected public Bitcoin addresses to their private keys in actionable time. That said, an extraterrestrial object of artificial origin that could interface and hijack wireless communication devices is far more plausible.
- dylan604 4y agoi'm sure an AI SSL version would be much more efficient than 3 round trips. after all, it's supposed to be smarter than what we could make, right?
- arthurcolle 4y agosomething something quantum entanglement blockchain AI?
- randmeerkat 4y ago> something something quantum entanglement blockchain AI? You need Rust in there somewhere.
- chimen 4y ago"written in Rust"
- marcosdumay 4y agoNah, a superhuman AI would be smart enough to not need Rust.
