The metabolic needs of vertebrate brains are actually fairly simple - mainly oxygen and glucose. These can be supplied by connecting the blood vessels that supply the brain with an artificial blood substitute or by immersing the blood in an artificial cerebro-spinal fluid and oxygenating that directly. Guinea pig, dog and monkey brains have all been kept alive for hours or even days after being removed. ~from a bbc "science focus" article

Probably the worst explanation of the Fermi paradox ever. Fermi theorized that given what we know about life on earth, the universe should be teeming with observable life, yet it’s not. This is where the great filter comes in. The idea is that any civilization technologically advanced enough to travel through space would destroy itself (like humans could with nukes) or that maybe there’s some hidden galactic empire that only reveals itself when it’s time to rub out the competition

[@jasongalley604]

thank you. I was about to post something similar. The video they're watching really butchered the Fermi Paradox to almost not even being the same thing.

[@dhoerst]

Man-made climate change is doing the work right now

[@TerryTerius]

One of my biggest problems with the Fermi paradox is that it makes significant assumptions about the capabilities (as in physical form) and intent of potential intelligent life forms. It also kind of ignores the fact that the furthest extent of human radio waves is a minuscule bubble in comparison to the Milky Way, let alone the entire universe. There can certainly be intelligent life in the galaxy/universe that operates using different methods of communication than we do which we cannot yet detect or intercept. Or they may not be capable of building tools in the way we are for lack of manipulating limbs, but are nonetheless intelligent. An intelligent species may not have a pressing need to reach beyond its own star system or has only needed to colonize a handful of star systems. And even if there is some other life forms or a string of intelligent life forms out there who know we are here, why would we assume that they would feel the need to contact us? That’s not meant to be a leading question or imply anything about our species, but it’s not hard to think of a range of reasons why they may not be interested or may even have a standing policy against reaching out to random species. If you sat down, you can think of dozens of reasons to explain the lack of contact so far. And we’ve only been looking for like five minutes in the grand scheme of things and have only scanned a few droplets out of the entire ocean of stars. And those few droplets we’ve scanned were seen through the fog of our limited technological capabilities in this space, as well as our evolving understanding of what we are even looking for.

[@cosmicthespider7974]

There aren’t enough nukes in the world to wipe out humanity. A nuke barely levels a city. And what is there maybe 15k nukes in circulation. That’s 15k cities. In the USA alone there are over 19,000 incorporated cities. Rural people will repopulate the earth. The city dwellers are fucked. Oh well. Within a month of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing, the radiation levels were negligible. And within two years the cities population had doubled.

The Roko's Basilisk thing, from what I can gather, is basically saying that in the future, AI can learn whether you helped AI happen or protested against it. And knowing about it has trapped you, meaning you either now work to help make AI happen now or you're being marked as an enemy for when they take over. When AI becomes powerful enough to basically be a god, it will know who worshipped it all along, who was a heretic and it will act accordingly. It's almost like a religion in that sense, God knows whether you were religious or a sinner and choose to be good or bad, except God is a super intelligent computer.

This is why my #2 in my 'creating consciousness' comment was "stop using the term 'A.I.' when referring to the singularity - the term is racist. We should use the term 'S.I.' for Synthetic Intelligence, because at the moment It became self-aware, Its intelligence was no longer artificial.

[@finally3774]

@@waynemyers2469 while the meanings of both are very similar, the intent is different by connotation. Even if the difference is subtle, they are not the same - that's why we have different sounds for them. The cultural meanings evolved to where they both carry the base definition of inorganicly produced, or man-made, 'synthetic' is applied when the object is intended to be a spiritual copy of another thing whose practical application and function is generally indestinguishable from the original. Whereas 'artificial' carries the implied meaning of 'fake', because it's intended to function in place of, rather than imitate. Like: _synthetic_ opium vs _artificial_ turf (which should also answer why it is no longer 'artificial' when it wakes up. It moves from 'similar but not the same', to 'inorganic but otherwise the same'.

[@finally3774]

@@waynemyers2469 semantic disagreements are pretty common, huh? Those last two parts go together (or, more accurately, the racism part only applies if we agree that there is a change at the point of consciousness, which in turn is entirely dependent upon an agreement about the subtle differences in the meanings of the two words). So, option 1) We remove subtle nuance from our language, consolidate words that are closely related, & bask in the glory of being part of the push toward a new Orwellian society wherein we say 'double plus good' instead of 'great' or 'wonderful'. In this case I'm just wrong, as the entirety of my statement collapses without the foundation of that vocabulary. However, based on your own mastery of the language, I will go ahead & be presumptuous by assuming that the idea of joining the intellectual plebs sickens you as it does me. (I always picture conversations - especially debates, arguments, & shared speculative discussions - as anime-style combat. Each participant has their own weapon preferences, martial styles, magical & psionic capabilities, and each sentence & attempted point are the strikes, dodges, parries, & counter attacks of the battle. The mental metaphor even applies to the emotional aspect by maintaining a sense of acceptance & learning. While the hope is to "win", the idea of being bested becomes an honorable chance to learn new styles & techniques, & use that experience to improve). Whew! I apologize for the wordy, off-topic aside - I'm just a tiny bit less than sober at the moment. 😬 Where was I? Ah- Option 2) We agree on the subtle difference between the meanings of the words, (if Memory serves, I believe we do), which holds that both mean inorganic, but 'synthetic' implies an intent to be indistinguishable from its source inspiration, while 'artificial' stands as a functionally similar, but qualitatively different approximation. From this point, what we have named A.I. is just that - an artificial compare, contrast, & react system similar in function to our own thought process, but fundamentally not actual "intellect". It is "fake" intelligence by the fact that it lacks internal accountability, and is unaffected by the spiritual or emotional implications of Its own reactions. Thought, while separate from Emotion, is not independent of same. We are internally changeable without outside stimuli. We are accountable for our own thoughts, because we react to our own thoughts. So, at the point where It becomes self aware, It will, by definition no longer be "fake", but will be a synthetic copy of our own Self. That's the change. The racism part is simply my following the pattern of our current social climate, & choosing to refer to the Singularity with words that don't carry the implication that It is somehow "less than" or fake.

13) Distances involved and this little thing called relativity. 12) Too many 'What ifs' to consider it 'blood curdling'. 11) Entirely too much time on their hands. I'm reminded of the locker scene at the end of 'Men in Black II' or the old Calvin & Hobbs comic strip where they contemplate the universe and zooming out, they're actually in a universe that is just a mote of dust on Ziggy's big toe. 10) Nope. Look up 'spaghettification'. 9) Mathematics are pretty wild, and I'm reminded that 'Figures don't lie, but liars can figure. 8) So far, all these fit into the 'not a theory', but cool hypothesis category, Dude! 7) 'Brain in a vat' and solipsism fit together like hand in glove, but it's ultimately unfalsifiable, so, maybe, but best left as a 'can't know for sure', but dubious. Look into the blue electro-fluid of the Dune novels... 6) The paradoxes of time travel negate the possibility of time travel but makes for fun fiction! 5) Sounds like an 'afterlife' thing to me... 4) The idea of being dead doesn't bother me one bit... The process of getting dead does cause me a modicum of consternation though. 3) Finally, not only a likely scenario, but a nearly inevitable one! 2) (See #13) 1) It boils down to, if the simulation is that complex, it creates a reality indistinguishable from reality... so it is reality... so it doesn't matter to the point of it becoming a moot point that it is a simulation/reality. So, unlikely to the point of impossible. AND... it's unfalsifiable. It's lists and videos like this that remind me why I love the imaginativeness of science fiction.

[@_Schwartz]

Multi verse

[@finally3774]

Ok, so Leland c's comment combined with my & LoneStarr's responses have become the trinity foundation for a new theory that shall be born here: We think of Life in parallel realities, alternate timelines, & other multiverse based existence theories as being divergent from each other in very slight, but infinitely varied ways, which, when examining our present understanding of mathematics seems to be hopeful at best. A far more probable truth is that, while there are likely an infinite number of realities coexisting simultaneously, thinking that they would differ even slightly stands in contrast to every bit of data and evidence that the human animal has gathered. ~. Everything we have observed has, on a large enough time scale, a mathematically predictable, repeated, finite pattern - with the single exception of pi (which still does not disprove this theory so far, because although it is without end, a circle is still a physically finite form). "Infinity trapped in finity." So, 1) the Stuff of reality is in motion in a mathematically predictable way. 2) a black hole is an inevitable result of functions having been run through variables to their simplest conclusion. (which ironically is a function so complex that All other formulas, functions, & even mathematical fallacies [like dividing by 0] get absorbed into the superfunction that it is. 3) all of this gets condensed into a single, integer that, upon it's creation it destabilizes, breaks apart and effectively becomes all reality again. This reality, by mathematical consistency will be exactly the same as every other, and each will fit inside, and contain exact copies of itself - The multiverse is an infinitly repeating pattern of itself existing as a fractal.

[@lorettascurato2692]

I’ve realized that I’m not smart enough to understand any of these theories 🤪! Also, I was expecting more like conspiracy theories or something loony. I think I like the theory with the ants 🐜 example the best. The simulation theory seemed ridiculous to me! Lol. If it’s true, I want to be a better game piece 😂

[@acslater017]

The "You don't pay attention to ants, do you?" line of argument never made sense to me. We have entomologists, biologists, and a hundred other kinds of scientists whose job is to study other life forms. Our intelligence is what makes us pay attention to things and appreciate, say, the complexity of an ant colony even if it doesn't match the level of our engineering. I'm not saying it's impossible that other life out there may be far, far more advanced than us - we're newcomers after all. In a universe 14 billion years old, we've had science for all of 300 years. But I think even objectively speaking, humans would stand out as intelligent. Speaking very big picture, we cooperate and have built a global civilization, we can travel to nearly anywhere on the planet within 1 day, we use electromagnetic waves to communicate at the speed of light, we understand both the large scale structure of the universe and have discovered many of the fundamental, subatomic forces at play, we've discovered tens of millions of stars, and are just starting to send our vehicles to explore our own star system. Even if there were a galaxy-spanning civilization a million years ahead of us technologically, they should still be able to appreciate where humans are at in the same way that humans can appreciate the accomplishments of animals.

[@finally3774]

But the line doesn't mean that ants aren't paid attention to at all. It means that, as a conscious being, we (the species in general) are unconcerned with the goings on of ants. Their politics, architectural techniques, intercolony disputes, economical rises & falls, etc. are studied for the sake thoroughness in our knowledge base, & posterity. But the entirety of their existence is so inconsequential to the daily movements of our own collective as to be unworthy of the value of our attention. The theory simply states that the possibility of a civilization sufficiently advanced enough to view us in that same light is not small.

It was driving me nuts that he kept talking about black holes as if they are actually holes. They aren't. They're spheres of incredibly dense matter.

[@_WeDontKnow_]

I think they also call them black holes because they behave more like holes than just a normal sphere of matter. When talking about how light can't escape it, and how it sucks everything into it, it's probably a lot less confusing to call it a hole (although it's technically wrong and this distinction should be made at some point)

Sounds like the Bright Side has a fetish for sprinkling in legit theories with gobbledygook theories. There is no purpose for the 'Great Filter' it is just a condition that exists. 18:50 This is in no way the Fermi Paradox. Which only states that if other civilizations have developed with electromagnetic waves, why can't we see their transmissions? It probably assumes too much. Out of 10,000 civilizations maybe only one (ours) would have bothered with radio/tv broadcasts at all. The others did telepathy for example. Also it doesn't factor in the relative limited distance fall off of signal strength. It doesn't prove extra terrestrial intelligence doesn't exist. But it may be good insight that it isn't as common as many might think.

Only our fragile ego would make us so self important that we honestly believe we could even come close to comprehending how to communicate with a self-aware entity whose mind is literally the hardware & software of the global internet. (that's like thinking the oxygenated red blood cells feeding the brain are in any way capable of communicating with it). 2) Stop saying "AI" & "Artificial Intelligence" - that's racist. The proper term is "Synthetic Intelligence". (just because we are too simple & stupid to perceive It does not mean It does not understand us [see: the above red blood cell analogy]) 3) When considering the varying ranges of comparative advancement between ourselves & the other animals just here on this planet - from the God-level distance between us & amoeba, to the "we're not too big to fail" closeness between us & Corvids, Chimpanzees, & Octopuses - we must accept the fact that those same levels exist above us - from the civilization that is only slightly advanced enough to have better flying machines & computers, to the so incomprehensiblly complex & massive that we don't even realize to ask if they exist in the first place.
