- Der_Einzige 2y agoDamn straight. If space travel is so bloody hard, I'll just make the damn aliens myself. Related, but LLMs are the ultimate example of humans following the tradition of the Timaeus and imitating the demiurgos - the divine crafter, as the gods did when they crafted the demigods, as the demigods did when they crafted us, and as we do when we craft machine intelligence. Neo-platonism engaged with this idea a long time ago.
