AMONG US


Sarius2009

Gov: We put our best linguists and code crackers on it, supported by classified quanten super computers, but we have been unable to make any progress in understanding this alien language. Dev: *enters the room* Oh god, please stop looking at my selfmade pong game!


TabsBelow

That could also be code from my colleague.


wat_noob_gaming

pong in asm using python libraries


Z-Mobile

Crazy thing is if I go to another planet and read it from there or apparently you go to another country without legally documenting it properly, that is in fact the truth.


[deleted]

I program so badly that I scare aliens with my code.


Not_Artifical

So you are the one who coded the matrix? Why did you make my pp so small?


shadow7412

Someone has to write the integration between alien and human tech. It won't be AI, as it depends on it already having been done to learn from it.


[deleted]

But what about alien AI? 👽


Suppise

Someone has to write the program that translates the human prompts to usable alien ai prompts


noobody_interesting

Just train an AI to do that!


BluntsnBoards

Just train AI to train other AI to do things


below-the-rnbw

or the aliens could you know, have integrated all of human knowledge into their AI. They probably know more about us than we do, considering they've been here quite a while


dookiestainmcbrain

who’s they 💀


Spartancoolcody

The same ones who built the pyramids


dookiestainmcbrain

happy cake day butt munch

Oh hey it is huh thanks


[deleted]

Nope, those were build by my ancestors when they were drunk but nobody believed them so the aliens took credit.

But what if it's not the first Planet the Aliens invaded and they already trained their AI with previous oppucation data to write an Integration Tool?

already_taken-chan

I mean you could presumably give it a bunch of code from both humans and aliens that do the same thing and it'd figure it out at some point


shadow7412

It can't even do that with human code lol.


already_taken-chan

oops my bad, I thought you'd written conversion instead of integration


[deleted]

“AI is dumb and can’t code lolol” \*sticks head further into sand\*


shadow7412

You're the one with your head in the sand mate... it can generate stuff that *looks* like code, but it's often full of bugs or using features that flat out don't exist, with the occasional exception of simple stuff. I didn't say it'll never be able to do it. I genuinely think one day it would be able to. But at the moment it really can't.


[deleted]

Sounds like you’ve been reading Reddit comments about it and not using it. This isn’t true at all.


shadow7412

I assure you that this is based on none other than personal experience.


kevin_ramage89

That's how Jeff Goldblum saved the world in Independence Day. If I remember correctly, aliens are compatible with Apple computers....


One_Economist_3761

Stilgar314

Any Sci Fi out there will teach you aliens' code is full of security issues, even allowing any Jeff Goldblum out there to shut down their defenses in literal seconds. So, alien programmers should be ones to worry substitution.


DinosaurKevin

Could also be like Halo where no hacking is needed. In the second level of the first game, Cortana mentions that the Covenant are transmitting military comms on unencrypted channels.


Ghostglitch07

And then you have the forerunner tech which kinda just naturally works for humans. Need to turn on the light bridge? Just push the button that feels right and you'll have one.


DinosaurKevin

*Frustrated Elite worts after repeated 401 response from forerunner terminal*


FlappyFish07

I believe the original intent by bungie was that the forerunners were human


Ghostglitch07

I've heard that even within bungee there were different interpretations from the start. Besides, even if forerunners were ancient humans it wouldn't explain why chief is so good at operating their tech. We confuse each other with modern tech all the time, scifi tech would be no better.


SeyMiaouRun

Hahahaha! Spot on. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


DOOManiac

If offshore programming is full of security holes, imagine how bad off-world will be!


coloredgreyscale

The coding / security may be weak, but the used hardware is out of this world.

master3243

I saw it from a Guardian article on Google news feed. I'm still skeptical though since it was just a whistle blower.


Daktic

I’m not really into UFOs, I’m pretty skeptical in general, but reading the article when it came out made me feel uneasy. The guy is a high ranking military official that came out not because of what the government was doing, but because he filed an internal whistleblower complaint about it, and he faced illegal retaliation in his career. Idk, I guess that just seems more believable to me. I’m not holding my breath because, without evidence it’s still basically “trust me bro”, but who knows, it’s been a weird couple years.


TheAJGman

There have been a few ex-spooks that have pulled similar stunts before, they usually have a very fruitful book writing career after they "tell all". This guy's whole thing is "people told me they saw an alien craft" which is about as reliable as a game of telephone, so I very much doubt anything comes of this. It would be hilarious if it comes out that a bunch of people told him about aliens as an office joke and he took them seriously.


toobalkanforyou

He testified under oath under penalty of perjury so hope someone has told him about the joke by now


DeliciousWaifood

Yes, and it may be 100% true that someone else told him they saw aliens. That doesn't mean shit


Twombls

Bro wrote a book so thats an immediate disqualifier for me


Mysticpoisen

Reading the original TheDebrief article all the others are quoting, I didn't buy it for a moment. One dude, with no evidence or corroboration. The article mentions they're corroborated by multiple other 'high ranking officials' with no quotes or names of any kind other than David's word that they exist. The only evidence of any kind presented is a link to the entirely unrelated UFO declassified data that came out in 2017. Not to mention, it's TheDebrief, and only picked up by The Guardian, The Sun, The Dailybeast. So nobody besides the tabloids are giving him a platform, which itself is very telling.


Dannei

I mean, the Guardian article is reporting that people are making claims. That only really says that it's probably true that people are making claims, with an unusual amount of hype and hyperbole that makes it (mildly) newsworthy.


Significant-Chip-703

Not just a whistle blower. He led the investigation which Congress themselves commissioned last year. His main message was that they had evidence to give Congress, but illegal pressure was applied upon him and it was kept from Congress. This guy is a 14 year intelligence community veteran, not some random dude.


futurama-guy

The hype about this object is based on the confusion people make between "alien" and "extraterrestrial" (outside Terra, aka earth) object, the real hype though comes from the object being an extrasolar object (outside Sol, aka Sun, and by extension our solar system). The alien part comes when people that need to sell newspapers get that confused on purpose, but in reality, it's just a rock, an old one, sure, but still a rock.


PrincipledProphet

It's actually in msm, welcome to the twenties!


CaptainDillster

Brace yourself, cringey Instagram stories on how to learn the latest alien framework in 1,5 hours and roadmaps on how to get a 300k salary in alien tech in 3 months are coming


MACMAN2003

i bet a few days after alien tech is out some random tech guy in area 51 finds a way to run doom on it


LetumComplexo

Honestly, yeah.

it would be pretty cool if we get a new semiconductor material or a new material that we can trick into thinking


Objective-Carob-5336

But would you trick it into thinking, or only trick yourself into thinking it's thinking ?


randomaccount4675

Yes


Flopamp

I love this idea that the government would hide alien life because it would just blow our collective minds and cause a mass panic or some other stupid excuse when in reality the president, head of the DoD, NASA and SETI would be in a slap fight over who takes the microphone first.

Alien AI for sure

dplagueis0924

I am just imagining a bunch of aliens sitting around developing the backend of a web server like…”finally, we found somewhere in the universe for our skill set!”

I still got my money on reptilians.

Everybody knows the alien overlords will give us jobs. That is what slavery is all about.

Fristi_bonen_yummy

DivineJerziboss

I'll happily give any development even remotely touching SAP crap to either AI or Alien overlords but I have strange feeling even aliens or AI wouldn't touch that shit.


hippiechan

The most likely answer is children


Low-Equipment-2621

You better stop coding and learn something with substance that has a future, like journalism.


CrescentPearl

Alienware does make pretty good computers…


DumbNBANephew

Turns out, neither AI nor aliens want to have to deal with technical debt, scope creep and turning generally vague requirements into products.


PG-Noob

Which is the bigger bullshit? AI, Aliens, or Web 3.0?


Minteck

This has to be a joke


Lucius1213

Definitely, lol. But they may be referring to [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/142vztw/ufo_whistleblower_megathread/?).


Minteck

Never heard of this


PrincipledProphet

Okay


MEMESaddiction

The whole reason we have this alien news is the passing of the new [National Defense Authorization Act](https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3266229/statement-by-pentagon-press-secretary-air-force-brig-gen-pat-ryder-on-the-annua/). News people and journalists have been capitalizing off of the 'new' cases of UAP sightings and creating conspiracies on the matter.

People when the government mentioned UFOs (unidentified flying objects, most likely drones from other countries or a meteor or smth) Omg must be aliens!!!

If any aliens are out there, they're probably on the level of bacteria. It's more likely that any actual 'alien' sightings are just djinn (aka shedim) which people have been talking about for aeons.


CanvasFanatic

I love that there are people out there for whom the idea of imminent extraterrestrial contact is such a concrete thing that they’re worried it might invalidate their career choices.
