Yeah, I mean, it's allowable by the laws of physics. The reality, though, is that the correlations decay with distance. And so you're going to have to pay the price not too far away from where you extract it. Sure.

I think it's useful to think about because we got to ensure we're anti-fragile and we're trying to increase our capabilities as fast as possible because we could get... Like there's no laws of physics against there being life elsewhere that could evolve and become an advanced civilization and eventually come to us. Do I think they're here now? I'm not sure.

I mean, I've read what most people have read on the topic. I think it's interesting to consider. And to me, it's a useful thought experiment to instill a sense of urgency in developing technologies and increasing our capabilities to make sure we don't get disrupted, right? Whether it's a form of AI that disrupts us or a foreign intelligence from a different planet.

Either way, increasing our capabilities and becoming formidable as humans, I think that's really important so that we're robust against whatever the universe throws at us.

Well that's why we work on quantum sensors, right? They can sense gravity.

Statistically speaking, right, if we observe some sort of alien life, it would most likely be some sort of virally self-replicating von Neumann-like probe system, right? And it's possible that there are such systems that... I don't know what they're doing at the bottom of the ocean, allegedly, but maybe they're collecting minerals from the bottom of the ocean. Yeah. But...

That wouldn't violate any of my priors, but am I certain that these systems are here? And it'd be difficult for me to say so, right? I only have secondhand information about there being data. About the bottom of the ocean?
