Not funny? Now let's think about something else. The point is that we are increasingly making artificial intelligence, this AI, our assistant. And in fact, it turns out that we trust it to do everything for us. We want to be free from routine. We make the AI more and more like us. So, at a certain stage, the supercomputer, the artificial mind, is not artificial at all, but will be smarter than ours.

We think the world is guarded by someone. But no one is actually guarding it. Think about it, if aliens come to us and we start explaining to them that we have created nuclear weapons, the world is in danger, if anything, all people will die. What would they think of us? They'll think they're crazy creatures.

Remember the movie where Skynet rebelled and started a nuclear war against humans? At first it was scary and funny at the same time. But in the future it will become quite real. After all, there are already systems of automatic control and launch according to a given algorithm. And their main property is to be autonomous. That's what they're designed for. This system… or even these systems that control weapons of mass destruction already own the planet. It's no joke, since they're designed to be impossible to disable. They've been wired since before the internet was even known to citizens. Only a narrow circle of military personnel used, as they do now, closed networks within corporations. So these systems have been online ever since. They, using electronic intelligence, as if they are watching each other, but in fact, it turns out, they are exchanging signals. After all, it is people believe that they are supposedly using them to monitor the enemy, that is, each other, but in fact all the data goes through the machine. And what does the machine need to do in order not to give itself away? Make it so that people don't realize its intelligence. Just to work in a dry sequence, to perform robotic actions. Imagine if you had a security guard who colluded with criminals or, even worse, with the guards of a rival group to create the appearance of fighting each other and crime, which is also artificially created. The main goal is to extort money from you and the competitor, and eventually plan a takeover. That is, to become the power instead of all of you. This is not a joke. This has happened more than once in the world. In the future, or maybe even now, this kind of thing in a different interpretation can be done by artificial intelligence. Soon it will even have your kettle, iron and fountain pen online. I'm too late, though. They're already online. Isn't that funny?

Now we come to the most important thing. Agreed, if we exercise careful multi-level control over what people can use to seize power – not "reckless" criminals, but intelligent hackers, for example, and those who hire them – then we should have even better control over more intelligent systems.

In fact, the world has already been taken over. Yes, yes, my esteemed reader, it turns out things are that serious. Check, many times the world has been on the verge of annihilation. These are real cases where the equipment gave false signals of nuclear attack. It's all very sad. People don't think about the monster they've created and soon won't need. We, trying to make life easier for ourselves, are robotizing it more and more, and entrusting control to artificial intelligence. Tell me, why do machines need people if they replace us completely and in all spheres? If they start creating themselves? Factories where robots make robots are nothing new. We control the cells and the blocks. If they get power over that too, then the chain will be closed. Everything will be in their hands. There's a reason we're on a first-name basis. We're of the same blood, after all. Remember, Mowgli.

"What a sad picture you've painted," you say. "Sad," you say? You'll be giving blood tests to an automated system soon. It'll be convenient and fast, like so many things we automate. Now think about it, how do you know it's giving you the right recommendations? Maybe she's instructing you to take a shot that you don't know the consequences of. Or rather, you don't know. But in the case of people, it's people against people, and in this case, it's machine against machine. It gives you instructions, which you follow. We believe that if you check the machine periodically and it's under the control of another intelligence system, it's doing everything right. What's it worth for them to collude? Or one system taking control of another… That's how all revolutions and coups started. First, the special services, which had access to everything, they could have power over everything, colluded with each other, and then presented a certain rebel, led him to the goal, then eliminated him and became the power.

Now the next one, no less fantastic than any such program. You may laugh at first, but I thought that everything that happens on Earth is not conceived by us. We're not so bad, we're not completely stupid. Realistically why would we, for one thing, spend so much money creating weapons? Why create so many things that can destroy the world several times over? Why? After all, you can produce exactly enough to be enough for one time, and do not spend more. Although that's completely idiotic. Logically, weapons of mass destruction should destroy no more than 30 percent of humanity. But that's not enough, we want to kill all people, and with a 500 percent guarantee. Don't you think that's clearly not what people want? Don't you think that someone put that in people's minds? It's not logical to create a weapon for defense that will kill you.

Although if we imagine, say, even in the developed Roman Empire, modern capabilities, such as determining gender in the womb, the ability to make medical diagnoses, launching satellites to detect natural disasters, supersonic flight, and flight in general, it would be something just as incredible. With all of this, it would be possible to change a reality that has not yet come to pass.

We will not develop this thought further. I hope you understood what the point was. Let's return to our worlds.

Let's think about it. Why should this signal find its mate in a distant world, or rather, another world? Here we have to agree that like begets like. That is, although it is still difficult for us to even understand it, signals of entangled pairs can be transformed into some kind of a code of the mind. After all, we can determine the chemical composition of a star and even planets near it by spectral analysis of the light emitted by it. Now that's not surprising. We believe that for the search of the mind in the universe it would be more logical to send us to them, by the way, as well as them to us, a signal at the frequency of radiation of hydrogen, or carbon, or other elements necessary for the origin and existence of life in general. At least as we understand it. Certain atoms are necessary for life to arise. All living things are composed mainly of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and small amounts of heavier elements, from phosphorus and calcium to iron.

In the work "Scientific bases of the problem of existence and search for extraterrestrial civilizations", which was published in 1985, Professor Troitsky writes: "More than twenty years ago in the journal Nature J. Cocconi and F. Morrison drew attention to the fact that with the current state of radio technology is possible to establish two-way radio communication between civilizations in our Galaxy. But for this both correspondents need to know the wavelength, the direction of sending and receiving radio signals and the time of communication. The merit of the authors of the work was the assumption that for communication should be chosen wave 21 cm, because it should be known to all civilizations as the radiation of neutral interstellar hydrogen. At this wave, mankind continuously conducts radio astronomical studies of the distribution of hydrogen in the Galaxy and other galaxies, which increases the likelihood of accidental detection of radiation sent by any VC at a wavelength of 21 cm in order to draw attention to themselves and receive response signals."
