Fire has evocations, which are videos compressed down to something like just a description, then rendered at the receiving end in a way that hopefully has some resemblance to the original.
One viewer stumbles onto a key insight about the struggle taking place, but they only have evocations so they’re not sure. And they sound like a total kook so everyone ignores them.
- dekhn 2y agoI can't find an exact reference and I don't want to spoil too much, I think this was in Children of the Sky, at some point one of the wolf creatures is imprisoned and somebody uses the ship's reduced AI to spy on them.
- abecedarius 2y agoSlight correction: the person with the spy system didn't believe its reports in the end -- the doubt/dismissal problem came before sharing with others, as I remember it. Agreed this was in Children of the Sky. (aFutD also had a case of high-stakes suspicion of highly compressed messages during Zone turbulence, as I think the GP meant.)
- askvictor 2y agoI shudder to think how current LLMs would go with this. I guess we can currently do this easily for still images and audio. Kind of reminds me of Translation Party.
