The first time we talked, you said you would, which is surreal to
think that this discussion was happening, is becoming a reality. I asked you,
what question would you ask an AGII system once you create it? And
you said, what's outside the simulation is the question? Good question? Yeah,
but it seems like with grog you start literally the system's goal is to
be able to ask such questions, to answer such questions, and to ask
such questions. Where are the aliens? Are the aliens? That's one of
the like the Femi paradox question. A lot of people have asked me if
I've seen any evidence of aliens, and I haven't, which is kind of
concerning because then I think I probably preferred at least have seen some archeological evidence
of aliens. To the best of my knowledge, there is no matter if
any evidence of aliens out there. They're very subtle. We might just be
the only consciousness, at least in the galaxy. And if you look at
say the history of Earth, wants to believe the archaeological record Earth is about
four and a half billion years old. Civilization as measured from the first writing
is only about five thousand years old. We have to give some credit there
to the ancient Sumerians who aren't around anymore. I think it was an archaic
pre cuneiform. It was the first actual symbolic representation, but only about five
thousand years ago. I think that's a good date for when we'd say civilization
started. That's one millionth of Earth's existence. So civilization has been around.
It's really a flash in the pan so far. And why have we But
why did it take so long? For you know, fore a half million
years for the vast majority of the time, there was no life, and
then there was archaic bacteria for a very long time, and then you know,
he had mitochondria get captured, multi cellular life, differentiation into plants and
animals, life moving from the oceans to the land, mammals, higher brain
functions. And the Sun is expanding slowly, but it will, it will
overheat, it will it will heat heat the Earth up at some point in
the future, boil the oceans, and Earth will become like Venus, where
no life. Life as we know it is impossible. So if we do
not become multiplanetary and ultimately go Viana Solar system, annihilation of all life on
Earth is a certainty. A certainty, and it could be as little as
on the galactic timescale, a half a billion years. You know, it's
a long time by human standards, but that's only ten percent longer than Earth
has been around at all. So if if if life had taken ten percent
longer to evolve on Earth, it wouldn't exist at all. We've got a
deadline coming up. Better hurry. But that said, as you said,
humans intelligent life on Earth developed a lot of cool stuff very quickly. So
yes, it seems like becoming a multiplanetary is almost inevitable. Oh, let's
be destroyed. We need to do it. I mean, it's it's not.
I mean, I suspect that they're they're If we are able to go
out there and explore other star systems that we there's a good chance we find
a whole bunch of long dead one planet civilizations. They never made it past
their home planet. That's so sad. Yeah, also fascinating. I mean,
there are very explanations for the peri paradox, and one is just the
sort of there's these great filtures which civilizations don't pass through. And one of
those great filtures is do you become a multiplanet civilization or not. And if
you don't, it's simply a matter of time before something happens on your planet,
you know, either natural man made that causes us to die out.
Like the dinosaurs, where are they now? They didn't have spaceships. So
I think the more likely thing is because it's just empathize with the aliens that
they they found us and they're protecting us and letting us be so Nicelylliams,
just like the tribes in the in the Amazon, the don contacted tribes were
protecting them. It would be a nice explanation, or you could have like,
what was it? I think Andrakapathi said, it's like the ants and
the Amazon asking where's everybody? Well, that you're run into a lot of
other rands. That's true. And Wars sounds like a good TV show.
Yeah, they literally have this big wars between various ants. Yeah, maybe
I'm just dismissing all the different diversity of ants. You should listen to that
w talking about the jungle. It's really hilarious. Have you heard it?
No? I have not. Worn Azag is a way you should play.
You should play it for the you know, as an interlude in the it's
on YouTube. It's awesome. I love him so much. Great was he
the director of Happy People, Life in the Taiga. I think also I
did that bear documentary, The Bear thinking about penguins, the depress, the
analysis, the psycho analysis. Yeah, the penguin's like headed for like the
mountains like that are like seventy miles away and penguin has just headed for doom.
Basically, Well, he had a cynical take. I have a he
could be just the brave explorer and there will be great stories told about him
amongst the penguin population for many centuries to come. What we're talking about?
Okay, Yes, I mean I don't know. Look, I think it's
the smart move is just you know, this is the first time in the
history of Earth that has been possible for life extend beyond Earth. That window
is open now. It may be opened for a long time, or it
maybe open for a short time, and it may be open now and then
never open again. So I think the smart move here is to make life
multiplanetary wild it as possible to do. So. We don't want to be
one of those lame one planet civilizations. It just dies out lay the self
respecting civilization would be one planet. There's not going to be a Wikipedia entry
for one in one of those. And the pause. Uh, the SpaceX
have an official policy for when we meet aliens. No, that seems irresponsible.
I mean, if I see the slightest indication that there are aliens,
I will immediately post on the next platform. Yeah anything, I know,
it could be the most liked reposted post of all time. Yeah. I
mean, look, we have more satellites up there right now than everyone else
combined, so you know, we we know if we've got to maneuver around
something, and we're not dyna ash maneuver or anything,
