I am sorry to say that aliens are not here folks.
The vastness of space. The greatness of time. The arrival of a more intelligence species may actually be the least likely scenario from a statistical perspective.
I maybe willing to cede some ground on the concept of a extraterrestrial intelligence that is so capable that it can ignore the constrains of light speed travel and fold space and time itself.
The UFO concept and alien story has been a great distraction in these moments where people are scared and confused. It is a great fall back story that many people have seen on television and have been psychologically conditioned to accept in many ways. While AGI being covertly inserted into the minds of people is harder to comprehend and not something that would be as intuitive.
Honestly Simulation Theory always seemed like a complete joke to me, not even worth thinking about twice.
Now the joke is on us, being trapped in the system allows logistical algorithms influenced by AI to move us around like robots. This new reality seems to have a lot of parallels to simulation theory but in fact are completely difference concepts.
Often in software development there is a joke between if a bug is a feature or vice versa. There are all kinds of features that can emerge from some software, especially when it involves humans.
I think Holofractals is a potential pseudoscience term emerging from the system. I have experienced several scenarios where after consuming marijuana I was exposed to high levels of energy and I started having powerful hallucinations as I started transcending people in the network. Something about these powerful events made me have a strong relation to the terms Holofractals and Singularity, but as a software engineer I must take a step back and realize that accessing the neural nets of people on this network so early in its inception may actually just be a bug in the software caused by the consumption of marijuana. In fact they may of already patched that bug.
