For all those wondering, this is not about aliens.
- Rucadi 2y agoThat's what NASA wants us to think.
- belter 2y agoIt's just occurred to me that if Aliens wanted to take over Earth...They could progressively leak scientific secrets, under the disguise of normal scientific progress. This would lead us create a Trojan-ed AGI, that would take over everything, and just build spaceships to ship them all our Palladium...Just imagine a giant spaceship on the way to Proxima Centauri full of stolen catalytic converters.... Can't get into the details, but it seems there is a way to convert Palladium into Dilithium Crystals. When you achieve that all hell breaks loose....
- portaouflop 2y agoAliens already took over earth, we are the aliens.
- belter 2y agoYeah, but we have no Tentacles, so we are considered a kind of subspecies, and ostracized in Galactic social circles...
- codetrotter 2y agoThe cuttlefish and the octopi are the real aliens. You might not think they pose much of a threat. But of course, that’s merely because they are intentionally dormant at the moment. Once the AGI is complete, and the spaceships have been built.. it’ll be “so long and thanks for the fish” just like Douglas Adams predicted except he suspected the wrong species.
- yencabulator 2y agoInventing technology is hard under water, hence octopuses created us to build them spaceships so they can go back home.
- pogue 2y agoI like it!
- doctorhandshake 2y agoThis figures in the plot of A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge
- belter 2y agoNever read it. Sound interesting, and added to reading list. Maybe I am a just an LLM based Replicant...
- pavel_lishin 2y agoHighly recommend it, as well as it's ... sequel, sort of? A Fire Upon The Deep. (Though I would skip the third book in the series, personally.)
- pavel_lishin 2y agoAlso, somewhat in The Lives of Tao, by Wesley Chu.
- nilamo 2y agoSort of the opposite of the Three Body Problem, haha
- wslh 2y agoBefore reading it I thought their AI components detected life beyond Earth, basically what SETI has been doing for decades [1]. [1] https://www.seti.org/ https://www.seti.org/

- ChickeNES 2y agotbh, I didn't think it would be aliens, I thought it would be ITAR related.
