[ExI] Superintelligent AI civilisations

[spike at rainier66.com]

Hi BillK, 

 

I am being compelled to take on adult responsibilities and will be heading out very soon (kicking and screaming (but we gotta do what we gotta do.))

 

In Deep Think Max’s comments below I recognize John Smart.  The material is filled with Smartisms (a very appropriately named person is John Smart (if you ever get a chance to meet him and talk, jump on that (I guarantee you will not be disappointed.)))

 

John was making the lecture circuit in the area here in the 1990s.  Afterwards he and I discussed MBrains (and a primitive version of my SBrain concept) where we mutually derived the notion of an advanced civilization passively signaling its presence but being reluctant to send out information.

 

I gotta scoot, but I will have occasional internet.

There is considerable speculation about how these AIs might behave or communicate.

I asked GLM 5.2 AI to think about it.

Question:

Can you consider civilisations after AGI and superintelligent AI have been developed? They will exist in virtual worlds in space data centers. The electronic speed of their thought will effectively make the physical universe appear to be 'frozen'. How would they find out if other similar civilisations exist around other stars? Would they broadcast a beacon?

 

GLM 5.2 AI Deep Think Max:

To envision a civilization operating at the speeds you describe, we have to fundamentally abandon human-centric perspectives on time, communication, and existence…the same way we view a glacier—beautiful, perhaps, but far too slow to hold a conversation with.
