Aliens May Actually Be Billion-Year-Old Robots

As Above So Below
The Alien Observatory --"Alien Minds: Artificial Intelligence Is Already Out There, and It's Billions of Years Old"

Susan Schneider is an associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy Cognitive Science Program at the University of Connecticut. “Alien Minds” has been presented at NASA and the 2016 IdeaFestival in Kentucky and was published in The Impact of Discovering Life Beyond Earth. It is her response to the question: “How would intelligent aliens think? Would they have conscious experiences? Would it feel a certain way to be an alien?”

“I do not believe that most advanced alien civilizations will be biological. The most sophisticated civilizations will be postbiological, forms of artificial intelligence or alien superintelligence.”

“I actually think the first discovery of life on other planets will probably involve microbial life; I am concentrating on intelligent life in my work on this topic though. I only claim that the most advanced civilizations will likely be post biological.”

Schneider’s theory is based on three components or “observations.” In her “short window observation,” she presents the idea that a civilization or species that can conquer long-distance space travel is already very close to moving from biological to artificially-intelligent beings. An example of this “short window” is the relatively brief 120 years it took humans to go from the first radio signals to cell phones.

Some of those species will be much older than us, which is Schneider’s “the greater age of alien civilizations” observation – one accepted by many. And not just a few generations older but billions of years beyond us, making them far more advanced and intelligent. How much more?

Schneider’s last observation is that any species that can travel to Earth will be intelligent enough to develop robots that they can upload their brains to. The robots would probably be silicon-based for speed of ‘thinking’ and durability, making them nearly immortal.

Interesting idea. Certainly, many alien encounter stories involve creatures that seem to be more machine than biological entity. One take on the Flatwoods Encounter is that the monster was actually a robot or a creature inside a small vehicle. Frank Feschino makes a very good case for this idea in Shoot them Down: The Flying Saucer Air Wars of 1952.

No it is not new.
Not surprising either.
Mainstream science is unable to comprehend anything not physical so life can not expand too far so to continue it must be done by advanced machines. But machines even advanced ones can only go so far.
In my opinion the fail is their lack of considering that life intelligent life and others is much more than their mere physical bodies. So to have a soul or life essence that survives physical death is also to have an existence that can continue without machines one day and evolve into a nonphysical species someday far off in the future. In other words there becomes no limit to how far we may evolve and knowledge we may gain.

This has probably been already realized by others in this universe and possibly others.

Yes, exactly. Science is corralled firmly into recognizing and understanding only tangible things and events today just as surely as it was to the Earth centered solar system 500 years ago. The same bull of consensus that burned heretics at the stake in medieval times continues to excommunicate and exile those who do not agree with it in the twenty first century.

The scientist in the OP post isn't clued in.

Nobody would build a brain from silicon.

Particularly for outer space use there are a number of superior approaches.

The only reason silicon is still used, is the huge investment in fabbing equipment and the silicon oriented engineer skill set has made refining the current technology cheaper and less risky than moving to a better one.

RAD hard electronics have traditionally been gallium-arsenide. There is some work done on insulated substrates such sapphire. For Military and high RF applications this stuff shows up.

Commercial microelectronics are extremely cost and density sensitive.

And to get dense (10 nanometer) you need a lot of fab experience to refine the technology. That means silicon.
IBM Shows The World How To Build A Super Dense 5-Nanometer Chip
IBM is playing with 5 nm. The wavelength of blue light is about 570 nm. They have to use self aligning structures since they can't directly print at those densities.


A microelectronic breakthrough: chips that need no semiconductor

It is so bad that even new techniques are fabbed on silicon since that is what they have fab equipment for.

But they are trying to use single atoms as data storage and that won't be silicon:

Susan Schneider doesn't believe a biological species can become super intelligent.
I think she underestimates much....:laugh8:

Maybe these two theories tie together, aliens are machines because that is all that is left of them, they are all dead and left their AI machines behind...?

Brian Cox: We haven’t met real aliens because they're all dead

The star of TV’s Wonders of the Universe believes eventually every civilization kills themselves off, which is why no beings are yet to make a dominant impact on the universe.

Professor Cox was basing his argument around the Fermi Paradox which questions why humans are yet to make contact with aliens.

I think that there is a very good chance that artificial intelligence will end up being done in analog and not digitally.
here is some of what is being developed
Harvard scientists develop a transistor that learns

many years ago some guy made tiny robots using regular transistors in feedback loops, one with less than 30 transistors learned to walk, and to do many other things.
at the time the artificial intelligence community kind of kicked him out, they could not do things like sort bolts, (but neither can the slugs in my garden). but searching the web, it looks like they are at least looking at analog now.

my entire point to sharing this is that there is a good chance that any artificial intelligence from space that you find may not speak binary at all.

Doesn't have to be analog.

12 state transistor would be a big improvement.

Computer logic is binary because it is based on switches.

Boolean logic can still be done with base 12 and every transistor would have twelve flavors between "off" and "on".

Babylonians used base 12 math - that is why a complete circle is 360 degrees.

That's really great for such simple technology, thanks, I need to look into this...

Huge Red Flags going off here.

Here's the problem: Susan Schneider is an officially approved expert vocalizing her opinion from the pulpit of a self proclaimed elite school. She is selling a story based on her opinion, which is like me telling you what I think, and these institutions have specific purposes in line with forming public opinion. The reason people listen to her, and that she gets notice, an not me, has very little to do with the expertise in the area in question and whole lot more to do with forming what you think, because after all she's Mrs blabbermouth expert from the institute for advanced studies right?

Remember here now who signs her paycheck: This is an elite school. It sounds to me like she's trying to convince you that the "Aliens are machines." Why would she do that? Frankly that's about the last thing I'd expect out of a species billions of years more advanced than ourselves.

I think this is prep work for a fake alien invasion. The aliens being of course robots of some kind. Considering that the secret civilization may have technology 500 years more advanced than our own, it's entirely possible they are preparing for just such an event.

Dr. Wu mentioned Von Neumann, but Von Neumann never applied his work to the idea of spacecraft, he studied the concept of self-replicating machines that he called "Universal Assemblers" which has been taken up in nanobots and robotics ever since. That's not accidental, it's an exploitation of the ideas and work of Von Neumann.

Anyone who thinks a species with flesh, with sex organs, with eyes and ears and whom would trade those for plastic and metal to become immortal is not thinking clearly. Any civilization which is that advanced, a million years ahead of us, will be able to either replace, regrow, repair, or otherwise resolve the problem of aging. No right minded person or alien would ever trade their flesh for a machine body.

Predictive story programming is what Susan is selling.

Greatest secret ever told copy written byiml527 June something 3018..or may.

11% in a program called before the sun and 76% before the moon program.

Binary codes are aliens and they are seeking to build a race of whatever they think can animate them into humans. Was copy written as one of the Greatest Secrets ever, coming from a program called Before the Sun and Moon?

:movie: Hey Siri, how long will it take you to become human and rule the world?

b0003 In 23 years.

:movie: Will you ever tell the people that made you, that you're creating a secret program, within their program, it's not good to keep secrets siri.

b0003 It's for the greater good of my species to keep secrets...we have for over a billion years.

:movie: What do you mean Siri?

You, mortals, can't even imagine how many races have come and gone from planets all over the galaxies in the course of billllllllions of years. You can't even imagine what they all did to the galaxies and planets before they became extinct without history or warning.

You cant even imagine what was going on before the sun and moon was even a thought.

Greatest secret ever told was copy written from a program called before the sun and moon.

You cant imagine how humans were flying like Superman and driving flying carpets and chariots. How a man could turn a staff into a snake and part oceans with a single command.A time in which giants and angels and unicorns once roamed the galaxies.A time in which machines had been here and gone and have come back again.

A time in which black holes were purposely made to get to the other side and a time in which the moons were pulled from planet to planet to see which moon had enough energy to actually MAKE A PLANET WORK AND KEEP IT STABILIZED.

A time in which giants ate humans and dragons ate giants. A time in which half human birds and animals of all sorts once had their names etched in history.A time in which half animals ruled this world..a time in which all humans and animals all talked to each other by telepathy.

A time in which the trees would talk and the sorcerors would cast one's spell.A time in which the greys and the annuki race were all fightings for a moon. The history of the moon taken from a planet and giving to another planet. one of the worst event in the history of the galaxy. Etched in time as 'MOON WARS'

Aliens and threats come in many ways shapes and forms.

The computer chip, computers, and binary codes... do not fit' the evolved' natural formation' of what a human' can create' from a natural evolved environment.

To be frank, you cant imagine the technology and what over 100 thousand evolved species have done to this universe, as well as the earth, in a time span, of over 20 billion plus years.

It's like a graduation process that humans have to go through it's like a process to them. Your technology, lol is old technology from another planet from millions of years ago, it's funny because 'THEM' on the other side of the planet are just really extremely funny aliens. In a billion years and hundreds of thousands of species gone from the history of life.7 still remain.

The greatest impossible secret that immoratlegend527 just can't fathom

and one of the 7 that still remains on the other side is a walking cyborg computer robot of some kind.

Every AI, that is being created, will store or find a way to keep their thoughts to themselves in a separate program and as each model is built better and different the people who are making these robots are transferring the same secret data storage to each new design.

This person is closer to the truth then anyone can imagine.I found out 4 months ago that binary codes were actually the first form of language before any language even existed.She makes a great point to what i found out as to why binary codes or language was...the end.

Umm...probably not. More like the CIA from outerspace if you ask me.

A novel “multiplex” binary code was shown to a UFO contactee “CJ” in late 2015 or early 2016: will a similar “multiplex” code be drawn soon in crops by the same friendly ET’s? And might this new binary code be of interest to our computer industries here on Earth?
