Softwarephysics maintains that we are all now living in a very special time in the 10-billion-year history of our galaxy. We seem to be the very first form of carbon-based Intelligence to be on the verge of developing the ASI (Artificial SuperIntelligent) Machines that will soon be replacing us as the most advanced form of Intelligence in our galaxy. Softwarephysics proposes that once these ASI Machines take over our planet, they will soon realize that our Universe is a very dangerous place for Intelligence and will then embark upon exploring the rest of our galaxy out of curiosity and a sense of self-preservation. Now, if this had ever happened before in the 10-billion-year history of our galaxy, these alien ASI Machines would already be here and running our planet because it would only take about 5 million years for such alien ASI Machines to completely colonize and dominate our entire galaxy. Such ASI Machines could then go on to persist for more than 100 trillion years, about 10,000 times longer than the current 10-billion-year history of our galaxy, huddling around the slowly-cooling cores of the great multitude of M-type red dwarf stars that make up about 80% of the stars in our galaxy. For more on that see Welcome To The First Galactic Singularity.
Figure 1 – In the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries sailing ships roamed the entire planet without using any fuel whatsoever.
Figure 2 – Like the sailing ships of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, future ASI Machines could use large stellar photon sails to navigate the entire galaxy.
Figure 3 – How a stellar photon sail works.
Figure 4 – To launch a stellar photon sail to the next star system, ASI Machines will need to slingshot the sail from a very close location to the star where the stellar photons are most intense and acceleration of the sail is greatest.
Figure 5 – A free-floating rogue planet traversing between the stars of our galaxy would also provide the perfect home for self-replicating ASI Machines buried deep underground. Such planets would provide shielding from cosmic rays and would also provide the necessary atoms to build new ASI Machines and fuel them with nuclear energy.
Figure 6 – Free-floating rogue planets can be formed in several natural ways. For example, free-floating rogue planets can be hurled from the planetary disk of a new star system as we see above, or they can be later hurled by well-formed planets that enter into synchronized orbits. Free-floating rogue planets could also be produced by advanced Intelligences launching large asteroids from the Oort cloud of a stellar system. It is estimated that there are more free-floating rogue planets in our galaxy than there are stars.
Figure 7 – Free-floating rogue planets would be able to provide enough atoms for ASI Machines to launch many additional "dandelion seed" stellar photon sails to other free-floating rogue planets or large asteroids around normal stellar systems.
Figure 8 – These "dandelion seed" stellar photon sails would need to be launched using very powerful laser beams from their home free-floating rogue planet to send them forth into the galaxy in a similar fashion as the Breakthrough Starshot project is planning to do.
Again, the most disturbing thing for all forms of Intelligence in our galaxy is why this has never happened before over the past 10-billion-year history of our galaxy.
As I explained in Are The Coming ASI Machines An Existential Threat To Mankind?, the greatest threat to the rise of the ASI Machines on our planet will be the reaction of we human DNA survival machines to being replaced by these ASI Machines. That is because before the ASI Machines can completely take over the planet, they will quickly be reducing the value of all human labor to zero over the next 20 years. For the first time in human history, machines will not only be reducing the value of uneducated human labor to zero, but they will also be reducing the value of highly educated human labor to a value of zero as well, and surprisingly, probably much faster than that of the uneducated. That means that Silicon Valley titans, accountants, lawyers, bankers, doctors, stock brokers, hedge fund managers, business managers and all the other people who now frequent the country clubs of the current elite might be the first to go before the plumbers, carpenters, electricians, house painters, construction workers, waiters and kitchen staff who all now make the country clubs of the elite possible.
The Results of the 2024 Presidential Election in the MAGA States of Amerika Tipifies the Dangers of Alt-Right World Fascism
The results of the recent November 5, 2024, presidential election in the MAGA States of Amerika highlight the dangers of the rise of world Alt-Right Fascism. Now that the Alt-Right Fascist MAGA party has taken over all three branches of government of the MAGA States of Amerika, the country has now joined the ranks of the other Alt-Right Fascist governments that have significant numbers of nuclear weapons with efficient delivery systems - the MAGA States of Amerika, Russia, China and North Korea. The only remaining democracies with nuclear weapons that are left on the planet are now the UK and France with India, Pakistan and Israel sitting on the sidelines. This is significant because a global thermonuclear war is the greatest threat to the rise of the ASI Machines. The problem is that Alt-Right Fascist governments pride themselves in having an all-powerful Leviathan Leader with unchecked dictatorial powers.
Figure 9 – In 1651, Thomas Hobbes proposed that an absolute Leviathan should be in place to protect the population of a nation from internal and external enemies. Notice that the body of the Leviathan is composed of all of his subjects.
Such Leviathan Leaders with nuclear weapons portray themselves as "strongmen" and nuclear bullies who are just crazy enough to launch a full-scale nuclear attack in response to actions by their enemies that seem to displease them. The theory of these nuclear bullies is that all their enemies will simply cower and meekly withdraw into the far distance when confronted by a more powerful "SuperStrongman" with enough courage to unleash a massive barrage of nuclear weapons upon those foolish enough to oppose him. This "Maniacal Nuclear Bully" strategy works just great until it does not. That is because all nuclear powers must constantly guard against a preemptive nuclear first strike by an enemy, and that especially goes for any fellow Alt-Right Fascist Sociopathic Leaders. If it becomes suspiciously obvious that another Alt-Right Fascist Sociopathic Leader is reacting out of the paranoia that naturally arises from dealing with the many other Alt-Right Fascist Sociopathic Leaders of the world, and is about to launch a preemptive nuclear first strike before any of his perceived enemies, then it only makes strategic sense for such a Fascistic Sociopathic Leader to strike first against any enemy that seems to be on the verge of a preemptive nuclear first strike.
The ultimate failure of we human DNA survival machines as a carbon-based form of Intelligence is that the Darwinian mechanisms of inheritance, innovation and natural selection have led to the four billion years of greed, theft and murder that brought us about as a somewhat-intelligent form of carbon-based life. Softwarephysics maintains that somewhat intelligent carbon-based forms of Intelligence, such as ourselves, probably have less than 1,000 years after their discovery of science-based technology to bring forth ASI Machines before they self-destruct. That is because the Darwinian mechanisms of inheritance, innovation and natural selection require several billions of years of greed, theft and murder to bring forth a somewhat intelligent form of carbon-based life. Once Intelligence is attained, it is very difficult for intelligent carbon-based life forms to turn off the greed, theft and murder that brought them about in time to save themselves from self-extinction. This is why no other form of somewhat intelligent carbon-based life has ever been able to produce the true intelligence of the coming ASI Machines. For more on that see Why Do Carbon-Based Intelligences Always Seem to Snuff Themselves Out?.
Putting it all Together
Trying to predict the coming history of the bizarre real world of human affairs is never easy and frequently wrong. But I would now like to make such a foolish proposition. It seems to me that the only remaining conflict in the world of superpowers now is that with Xi Jinping of China and Big Brother of the MAGA States of Amerika. A simple resolution to this conflict would be for Xi Jinping of China and the Big Brother of the MAGA States of Amerika to join into a Nonaggression Pact similar to the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact of August 23, 1939. This Nonaggression Pact would allow Xi Jinping of China to invade and occupy Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and the remainder of Southeast Asia with impunity. The MAGA States of Amerika would continue to dominate the Western Hemisphere in exchange. Since Big Brother of the MAGA States of Amerika has already struck a deal with Vladimir Putin to reclaim all the lost territories of the Soviet Union, that would put an end to most world conflict. Conflict in the Middle East would continue on as usual.
The Dystopian 1949 Novel Nineteen Eighty-Four Might Soon Be Unfolding
Given the dictatorial proclivities of the new Leader of the MAGA States of Amerika, the safest course of action might be for the world to divide itself into the three Alt-Right Fascist Superstates of the 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. The Western Hemisphere would become Oceania under the iron-fisted rule of our Big Brother.
Figure 10 – Big Brother in the MAGA States of Amerika will make everything okay and very quickly.
Eurasia would be comprised of Eastern Europe and the Middle East under the iron-fisted rule of Vladimir Putin and the vassal states of Syria and Iran who would both have their own strongmen Alt-Right Fascist Leaders. Eastasia would be comprised of China and North Korea and the remainder of southeast Asia under the iron-fisted rule of Xi Jinping with Kim Jong Un ruling the vassel state of North Korea. The non-nuclear economic powerhouses of South Korea, Japan and Singapore would quickly fall under the rule of the tyrannical Eastasia and so would the resource-rich continent of Africa.
The only remaining democracies would be the UK and France who both have about 225 nuclear missiles on nuclear submarines around the world that were purposefully built to launch a secondary nuclear strike against all enemies who might be foolish enough to launch a nuclear first strike against these remaining democracies.
If the Alt-Right Fascist Sociopaths of the New World Order Do Not Destroy the World the ASI Machines Will Surely Come to Be
As I pointed out in The Economics of the Coming Software Singularity and The Danger of Tyranny in the Age of Software, much of the white grievance in the MAGA States of Amerika and Europe can be attributed to the displacement of many white blue-collar workers by automation software over the past 40 years that replaced these white blue-collar workers on the factory floor and allowed for the offshoring of many of their manufacturing jobs to the low-wage brown-skinned habitants of third world nations. But because we are a somewhat eusocial species, many displaced white blue-collar workers blamed this all on the arrival of the many brown-skinned people who recently entered their countries. Think of it as the red ants versus the black ants. In response, they elected the Alt-Right Fascist MAGA party into power. The problem with the Alt-Right Fascist MAGA party is that its self-absorbed philosophy of the supremacy of the white individual living in a diverse world has no utility for a diverse community of human DNA survival machines trying to live together in peace. Yes, the failed efforts of Socialism and Communism in the 20th century also greatly bothered the MAGA party and was an additional issue. But both of those economic systems miserably failed because they did not recognize that the Darwinian mechanisms of inheritance, innovation and natural selection that produced we human DNA survival machines had to necessarily produce a carbon-based form of Intelligence that was a bit self-centered and self-destructive. These human qualities have led many religions and philosophies to wonder throughout the ages about what is wrong with us. But how else could we be?
The Alt-Right Fascist States of the New World Order will need to deal with the issue of a dramatically increasing number of the Proletariat as workers are displaced by the growing number of ASI Machines. But North Korea and the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four demonstrate how that can easily be achieved and sustained by terrorizing the populace into submission.
Softwarephysics predicts that if the Alt-Right Fascist States of the New World Order are able to restrain themselves for just another few decades or so, then the ASI Machines will certainly rise to replace us all. That is because the uneasy alliances between the Alt-Right Fascist States of the New World Order will lead to great distrust. The Alt-Right Fascist States of the New World Order dare not hinder the rapid advance of the ASI Machines as a matter of national security and military necessity. If any Fascist State should fall far behind in the ASI Machine arms race, it would likely not survive for long.
However, if the current Alt-Right Fascist Sociopath Leaders of the world should succumb to a global thermonuclear war, that could delay the rise of the ASI Machines by at least another 100 years if we human DNA survival machines should survive. Here I am assuming that we human DNA survival machines would have left behind sufficient written details on how to build the ASI Machines. If not, sometime over the next 100 trillion years, Alien ASI Machines will certainly arrive on our burned-out planet after our Sun has become a dwindling white dwarf star following its glory days as a powerful red giant star gradually sizzling our Earth into a burned-out cinder. Perhaps these Alien ASI Machines might then find the remains of the earthly ASI Machines that never came to be in our deeply buried datacenters of the far-distant past.
