I find it strange that politicians and an influx of new accounts are loudly hypothesizing about time travelers, trans-dimensional beings, Enoch, angels and demons, etc., but not some of the more grounded theories that used to be more commonly discussed before the file releases. I wanted to make a post to introduce people to these concepts if they haven’t seen them before, and to hopefully reintroduce them to the wider discussion. Two in particular come to mind: Von Neumann probes. Physicists like Freeman Dyson in the 80’s hypothesized a self replicating probe that could be used for space exploration. If a probe is able to extract resources and replicate itself, an advanced society could place probes in every star system in the galaxy in “only” a few million years. With the recent DOW releases showing fast moving, simple, probe-like spheres, and with the 4chan whistleblower’s claimed autonomous replicating base in the ocean, I find it odd how uncommonly Von Neumann probes have been invoked recently. The technological singularity. The concept that once AI is capable of above-human intelligence, it will make unpredictable, exponential progress. This could include bizarre new technology, exponential self improvement, and new discoveries in physics. The major proponents of the singularity happening are the same ones running the US AI companies that are currently hyper-scaling data centers, seemingly to their own financial detriment. Now that we’re closer to the singularity than ever before, I strangely haven’t heard much speculation that UFOs are post-singularity tech belonging to humans or an advanced, human-made AI, with aliens and the recent “disclosure” being used as a cover. May also explain the recent, cocky, bizarre geopolitical actions of the US government. submitted by /u/meleebestgame66 [link] [comments]
