Reply to What are the gaming evolution in this advanced artificial intelligence technology, and how are they transforming the gaming experience? by decentralizedmemes
Well the only way ai will make it into gaming is if will make more money than what they’re currently making.
Ai already exists in gaming. You select a difficulty and the difficulty algorithm changes
One way I can see it coming in is instead of only just procedurally generated maps, they’ll be procedurally generated stories, characters and dialogue and choices.
Instead of a firm hiring developers, they fire half of them and let the ai create the guts of the game, while people fill in the blanks

Except old mate mohamad wasn’t talking about danger. He was saying that the animal, regardless if it’s clean or not, is not pure, spiritually. He goes on to describe that angels “refuse” to enter a home that contains a dog. Mohamad was NOT talking about danger.
He needed something unique to seperate his new religion from Other religions

Except there were feral cats back then, along with wild goats and feral camels. He only applied the condition on the dog, so he’s singled them Out, healthy or not. So your argument doesn’t hold water

Theorising about alien processing systems removes human/earth bias and CAN/MAY allow us to approach how we process data and computations.
Look at how the quantum computer can about. We started by ourselves what if the entire internet could be stored in a grain of salt but we’ve been busy mucking around with silicone and binary states.
Everything that processes today is based on the premise of Morse code. We just advanced the shit out of it

It’s a massively outlandish idea. However, can we draw ideas from this?
From what I gather, scientists are tinkering with the validity of the idea that an object in space that was not manufactured can be used to compute.
Can we do this with tree roots? Can we apply this concept within a reachable grasp?
The concept in its raw unadulterated form sounds like something from startrek.
But let’s water it down, can we take advantage of this concept here, on earth?
It’s an interesting concept,

Reply to If you could instantaneously place a space telescope at any desired distance (LYs), from any planet/galaxy etc., where would it be and what would you be documenting? And for what purpose? by kennyarsen
I’d put it at the nearest planet we think is hospitable and aim it at earth. Get top scientist who don’t know it’s earth, get them to analyse the data and cross check it with data we are certain are true. That will teach us so much on how to recalibrate our interpretation of data and the assumptions we make about how planets are based on their signatures
