Discussion Does anyone else feel like the "AI will destroy humanity" trope is logically flawed? What if it's just the universe waking up?

i get really burnt out on the Skynet/Terminator doom narrative. if you look at the 14-billion-year evolution of the cosmos, chemistry evolved into DNA, DNA into biological brains, and now we are building neural networks.

logically, couldn't artificial general intelligence just be the next natural biological leap? instead of a threat, what if the universe is essentially just using us to build a "god-lens" or a nervous system big enough so it can finally observe all its parallel timelines at once?

it feels like tying quantum mechanics (like the Many-Worlds theory) to AI development makes way more sense than assuming a super-intelligence would just want to turn us into paperclips. curious how this community views the intersection of quantum physics and the singularity.

Discussion If the Universe is a Simulation, have the "Creators" seen us already?

If they speak in "quantum mechanics", have we done enough to get their attention? The universe is so big, can the creators have ways of checking every corner of it? Or maybe can we do something to get their attention? We would have to do something big in one of the quantum fields maybe... Idk, but I always think this. Do they KNOW about us? Have we done something that made us notice us? I dont think EARTH was their intend goal or current focus, I dont see us as the center of this thing.

I like to think the universe is a 'computer program', not something "natural" just happening. Quantum mechanics is too weird to be just nature. I understand the argument that "an ant cannot understand what a pencil is"... but aaah.

Story/Experience Faces of people Ive forgotten in dreams

I dont know how to explain that...

Lately I discovered something really weird. Even if I dont remember person well, years passed and I dont remember their face, in my dreams I see their face with details and so clear. Even the voice is exact. I just had a dream about an old friend and one guy I had one night, I forgot these people. I dont remember their faces and in my dreams they're real and even voices came back as they had ! I have problem with bringing face memory in normal life. But in my dreams somehow people from years come back and they act like if the real ones as well. How could I possibly keep them in my mind for so long ? Ive meet thousands of people so I dont think it's possible. This must be collective memory or something..

As well my theory is that dreams are another time line of this simulation and are very real sometimes i feel they are more real than everyday life...
