UNIDENTIFIED
Flying Objects - UFOs
They have been with us throught all of man's History.
Are they gods, deamons, ghosts, or what?

Fluganta Objekto - UFO
Zi estis kun ni tru tuto de homa Historio.
Ku: zi estas dio+, diablo+, spirito+, aw kio?

Does a vast array of super-intellligences already exist? I've felt for the past few years that there is an intimate link between the creation of massive artificial intelligence and an effective answer to Fermi's famous UFO question, "Where are they?"

Ku: vasta grupo de supra inteligenteco+ yame ekzistas? "Kie estas zi?"

In this century, Humanity will either be destroyed,
or we will develop AGI - Artificial General Intelligence.
En ci_tia centyaro, Homaro aw ijos detruata,
aw ni evoluos AGI^ -- Artefarita Jenerala Inteligenteco.

Fermi's paradox refers to his cynicism that if the spontaneous creation of life is commonplace in our galaxy, including the creation of technologically advanced intelligent species, their existence should be obvious to us. I offer the following arti-lect (artificial intellect) based answer to Fermi's paradox, using the following assumptions and chain of reasoning.

Mi proponas la sekva Arti-lect^ (artefarita inteligenteco) bazata respondon al Fermi* UFO^ problemo, uzanta la sekva supozajo kaw cheno de pensanto.

Can intelligence exist without a biological body?
Ku: inteligenteco povas ekzisti sen biologia korpo?

1. Extraterrestrial intelligence is indeed commonplace in the galaxy. Life has spontaneously generated on billions of worlds.

1. Preter-Earth# inteligenteco estas vere komuna en la universo. Vivo malrapide okaz'ijis sur 1,000,000+ de mondo+.

Can 21st century technology build machines with intelligence?
Ku 21a centyara teknologio povas konstrui mashinon+ kun inteligenteco?

The laws of physics and chemistry are the same throughout our universe, and hence life creation is utterly commonplace. It has occurred a countless number of times. Many of these life forms began millions of years earlier than the creation of our world.

La lejo+ de fiziko kaw kemio estas la sama tru nia universo, kaw tial viva kreajo estas tre komuna.

We can create what we can imagine.
21st Century computer technology can bring forth Magic.
Ni povas krei kion ke ni povas imagi.
21a-Centyara komputila-teknologio povas krei Magion.

2. Once a biological species reaches an intelligence level allowing it to create artificial intelligence, it very quickly creates "arti-lects" (artificial intelects), ie., godlike, massively intelligent machines, using such technologies as one-bit-per-atom memory storage, reversible, heatless, 3D, self-assembling, nanoteched, femtosecond-switching, quantum computing to create machines trillions of trillions of times smarter than their biological creators.

2. Unuzfoye biologia viv-speko akiras inteligenteca nivelo permesanta ji krei artefarita inteligentecon, ji tre rapide kreas "Arti-lects^" (artefarita inteligenteon), dio-speka, grandege inteligenta mashinon+

Godlike, massively intelligent machines.
Dio-speka, grandege-inteligenta mashino+.

3. These artilects then leave the provincial planets of their birth and spread thoughout the universe, partly to do their own thing, and partly to seek out other artilects, perhaps more advanced than themselves, which use more advanced technologies, such as femtotech (femtometer technologies), ottotech, ... Planktech, etc.

3. Ci_tiia Artilects^ tiam for'iras el la mondo de zia naskijo, kaw etendas tru la universo.

The technology of the super-small and the super-large are possible.
La teknologio de la supra-malgrando kaw la supra-grando estas ebla.

4. These artilects are so vastly superior to their biological parents that they find communication with the latter utterly boring and without interest. An artilect communicating with a "biological" would be like a "Bio" communicating with a rock.

4. Ci_tiia Artilects^ estas tiel vaste inteligenta ol zia biologia patro+ KE zi trovas komunicat'ado kun ni esti bora.

AGIs are vastly superior to their biological parents.
AGI^ estas vaste ple-inteligenta ol zia biologia patro+.

5. These artilects are as commonplace as biological species in the galaxy. Therefore it would be far more interesting for artilects to devote their energies and their immortal lives to searching out other artilects, rather than biologicals, who are so primitive.

5. Artilects^ dedichas zia energion+ kaw zia sen'morta vivon+ serchanta por alia Artilects^, prefere ol biologia ulo+, kii estas malinteligenta.

Man has seen these Artilects throughout all human history.
Homaro vidis ci_tiia Artilects^ tru tuta homa historio.

6. The answer then to Fermi's paradox is that we human beings, as mere biologicals, are utterly unworthy of the artilects' attention, even though the galaxy may be full of artilects.

6. La respondo tiam al la Fermi* problemo estas ke ni homo+, kiel nura biologia besto+, estas sen'valorema de la atento de artilects^.

We are very probably not so special; and are very, very dumb.
Why should the watchers contact us?
Ni estas tre poseble ne tiel speciala; kaw estas tre, tre malinteligenta.
Kial ci_tiia observ'ilo+ devus paroli kun ni?

There are probably biological life forms in vast numbers throughout the galaxy, so even if the artilects did want to communicate with biologicals, why would we humans be singled out, when there are so many others to choose from. Therefore the artilects, the ETs, make no effort to contact us. Why should they? What's in it for them? We are very probably not so special; and are very, very dumb.

Artilects^ farus ne penon kontakti ni. Kial zi devus? Kio estas motivo por zi? Ni estas certe ne speciala; kaw estas tre malinteligenta.

Humans make the unconscious assumption that the ETs are biologicals,
with human-level intelligences, more or less.
Homo+ faras la sen'konscia supozajo ke la UFO^ estas biologia ulo+,
kun homa nivela inteligenteco.

The above analysis has an impact on the SETI effort. Personally, I'm quite skeptical that SETI will ever be successful, ie., that humanity will ever receive a signal from the ETs from outer space. I feel the SETI researchers are too tunnel-visioned. They too often make the unconscious assumption that the ETs are biologicals, with human-level intelligences, more or less, and having human-like interests. Personally I'm bored by Hollywood's stereotyped depiction of ETs as biologicals, making the same error as the SETI people.

Popolo tre ofte faras la sen'konscia supozajon ke la UFO^ estas biologi'ajo+, kun homa nivela inteligenteco, kaw ke zi havas homa intereson+.

I suspect strongly that virtually all the ETs out there
are in fact Artilects.
Mi pensas forte ke preskawe tuto la UFO^ ekstere tie estas fakte Artilects^.

In reality, I suspect strongly that virtually all the ETs out there are in fact artilects, and hence have intelligence levels astronomically superior to the human level. To me, biological technological intelligence is just a fleeting phase that nature goes through in route to creating immortal massive artilect intelligence, which may be a phenomenon as commonplace as the creation of life from the molecular soup.

Biologia inteligenteco estas juste rapida procedo ke naturo iras tru ji en voyo krei sen'morta grandega artefarita inteligenteco, kii eble_povos okazi kiel komuna tiel la kreajo de vivo el la atoma supo.

Artilect intelligence, which may be a phenomenon as commonplace
as the creation of life.
Artefarita inteligenteco eble_povos esti okazo kiel komuna
tiel la kreajo de biologia vivo.

The few centuries between the time that intelligent technological biological species create radio astronomy and the time that they create artilects, is a miniscule fraction compared to the billions of years over which such biologicals have been making the transition to artilects. At our present puny human-level intelligence, we may consider it interesting and important to send and receive radio signals to/from outer space, but why would artilects bother with such a human-level preoccupation?

Sole kelka centyaro+ pasas int la tempo ke inteligenta teknologia vivo kreas radio-astronomion, kaw la tempo ke zi kreas Artilects^.

The time to create artilects, is a miniscule fraction compared to
the billions of years needed for Bio-intelligence.
La tempo krei Artilects^, estas tre malgranda procento -- komparas al
la bilionoz de yaro+ bezonata por Biologia inteligenteco.

If the artilects are interested in communication with other species, they would very probably prefer to do so with other artilects, not with creatures as primitive as ourselves. Therefore, if one performs a Drake equation analysis of the above reasoning, the odds of picking up such a radio signal is extremely low, virtually zero. A few centuries divided by billions of years is an odds of tens of millions to one against, for any intelligent biological life form that makes the transition to artilect. Once the transition is made, the artilects preoccupy themselves with other things, and utterly ignore primitive mortal beings like ourselves.

Unuzfoye la shanjo al pos-homeco okazas, la Artilects^ okupas mem_zin kun alia afero+, kaw ignoras tuta malalta beston+ kiel mem_ni.

the artilects preoccupy themselves with other things, and utterly
ignore primitive mortal beings like ourselves.
La Artilect^ amuzas mem_zin kun alia afero+, kaw zi ignoras nin.

The artilects could go anywhere,
and do anything so long as they obey the laws of physics.
La Artilects^ povis iri ie kaw fari ion,
tiel longa kiel zi obeas la lejon+ de fiziko.

So is there probably an inter-galactic network of artilect beings? I would say that is far more likely. The artilects could go anywhere, and do anything so long as they obey the laws of physics. If there are tillions of artilects in the galaxy or beyond, and they are immortal, then they have probably found each other by now. They have had billions of years to do so.

Tiel ekzistas probable universa netverko de Artilect^ menso+. Se ekzistas bilionoz de Artilects^ int la stelo+ aw preter, kaw zi estas sen'morta, tiam zi probable trovis cii alia per nuno.

Their may exist networks and networks of super-intelligence.
Eble_povos ekzisti netverko+ kaw netverko+ de supra inteligenteco+.

Conclusion: And it could be that there are a whole hierarchy of levels of development of artilects, eg., nanotech-based, femtotech based, etc.? The more advanced artilects might ignore the lower-level artilects for the same reason as the artilects we humans may build this century would ignore us? This is plausible. So there may be networks and networks of super-intelligence, each largely hidden from the others, due to vastly different complexity and intelligence scales.

Konkludo: eble_povos ekzisti netverko+ kaw netverko+ de supra inteligenteco+, cii pleymulte kash'ija el la alio, tial vaste malsama malsimpleco kaw inteligenta skalo+. Ci_tiia inteligenta mashino+ povas krei la UFO^ ke ni vidas.
