I think most people really don't get this: reality is not a Hollywood movie. If some guys somewhere got to bootstrap an AGI somehow, the AGI most probably is offline and turned off most of the time. Nobody in the field would be crazy e

maybe we are just "ants" for them. That would be the current intelligence level of humanity for aliens. Doesn't the cities, human civilization on Earth feel like a big messy anthill? All our society could feel for them just l

This is a so millenial take on self-control that I cannot help to comment about it. Old school resilience and persistance is what you will miss all the way into "I will do as I please to do things". Not good. Many, many things req

Just logged in to say that a war has little to no potential strategic benefit to US and its allies. It has several, yes, lots of downsides. Nothing like WWW3 (that's so XXs), but China will probably take the chance to hit hard, taking

My personal bet for the "UFO phenomenon" are in this theory since like, decades ago. I think in the next century or maybe in 200 years, this stuff would be like the hunt of witches in the medieval europe. A precise advanced for th

I would suppose that longer the period, the weirder / dangerous the alien species are to us. Think about some highly intelligent reptile predator species, with a taste for mamal meat. Yeah, the creeps are there. I think not everyone -

your answer somewhat reminded me about a current trend in advanced neurological stuff, could be some paper (I'm not googling it sorry, no time now), and a recent interview with some Ace AI guy at Facebook. Something like this "hum

At some point we could be lucky enough to spot some kind of alien ISS orbiting an otherwise non-interesting planet/moon. Or some kind of giant vessel arriving to a close star. Could be no luck at all too.

I believe thinking FF vs. Chrome like IE vs. other browsers is a bit unfair here. IE was a dinosaur, a complete fiasco as almost unmantained software. Now we have this software, open-source Chromium actively mantained, supported by several
