Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

This is part of The Fermi Paradox.

TL;DR: If the universe is ancient and infinite, where is everybody?

Super AI is one possible answer: Everyone creates it, is subsumed by it.

If you've got effectively unlimited computational power, you just simulate everything rather than having to explore it

Whoops I sorta responded to the wrong post with my thoughts but yes, maybe life loses all meaning if you have super AI. Or maybe they eventually put you in a version of the matrix after reasoning happiness is the only meaning of life and so they can optimise our happiness this way.

Maybe it has already happened.
