So, a signal from a lost civilization on a dead planet is automatically a threat to the whole universe. No explanation of the threat. Signal could only be a recipe for great chicken salad.
Actually, this story reminds me of an episode of The Next Generation called "The Chase". Though in that story they were following genetic sequences to unlock the messages while everyone was against each other. Ironically, a Cardassian had a similar analogy to what you said, only she said, "It may just be a recipe for biscuits".
People thought civilisation was going to end because of a misplaced 1 or 0 was going to cause every computer in the world to crash in 2000. And remember when 2012 'end of the world' happened because the Mayans carved it on a rock? The things happen, and there's always one idiot that can jump to conclusions better than Michael Jordan could jump a hoop, then there's the sheeple.
Good grief!! How many times can one use "the fate of the galaxy is at stake" in one short story? And all this long before they ever even knew that there was any threat at all, because the message hadn't been decoded yet. It could have been a recipe for pie crust for all they knew. But then it gets decoded (why the original message was so difficult to interpret we'll never know -- it only made sense to put it into a more easily-deciphered form) and the phrase comes up every other sentence! Oy! I bailed out at 19:00. Sorry, it was just too painful.
That's when they cannot come up with a good story, they just repeat buzzwords. I like science fiction, but this is a string of lame stereotypes and buzzwords. I had to cringe every time when "the fate of the galaxy is at stake!" Goodness, such nonsense.
What strike me odd is that why are the galactic council members doing at the research/dig site. Like all of them there. Usually council members only be sitting in the council and waiting for the report of any discovery by the research team.
@@melodymacken9788 It's like flies eating cow dung. Some people are harsh critics and point out that dung should nto be eaten, it's disgusting. Other say, actually, I liked the taste! Everyone to their own, I guess. And I can poop on a plate for you if that helps.
Less than a minute in and wondering why an undecipherable message from an ancient civilization would make the galaxy crap it's pants. When discovered inside the chamber, rather than waste time, just hit the 'play' button, everyone will watch. So what was the impending 'boogeyman' catastrophe? Ahh yes, couldn't quite come up with a believable event. Let me help, the sudden collapse of all dark matter in the universe ought to do it.
The galaxy is doomed, but we have blueprints on a device that can prevent it! Quick! Encrypt it with a cypher so complex that it will stump anyone who could actually build the device!
AI generated story, i read allot of these, always the names of some humans are Novak, Ethan etc or the aliens Zortan, Zortak,Zortans always the same name for either the antagonist aliens or the humans
this chatGPT stories are hilariously more and more silly (being polite here). Does anyone read them prior to posting, or it's an AI channel that writes and posts it's own stories with zero control?
@@petermoeller5901Pretty easy to tell, its formulaic yet seems like its missing big chunks of relevant information. The two most common AI generated stories are either super descriptive but don't say much or they are like this one, where it makes major congruity errors, for example, the fact that the human main character just happened to know that this random unknown signal held the key to the fate of the galaxy, when no where in the story does it establish that the galaxy was in danger. The reader is AI, the story is like half a story with things just happening for no discernible reason, there is little to no actual transitional information its a jumbled barely coherent set of plot points, its like the story is just a bulleted outline of a story with all the little bits missing. If you listen to or read enough AI generated stories you learn to identify the mistakes they tend to make as they are present in most if not all of them.
The problem wit h this story is the premise that some unknown signal from a long dead civilization is somehow a threat to the galaxy, Why? Why is everyone so concerned? Why is the signal a threat? How do they know the signal is a threat? So far as I can see, there is no danger or threat presented. We receive no explanation as to why everyone is so concerned. This is just bad writing. If your story involves a major threat of some kind, you need to present that threat in no uncertain terms. Explain it, define it and then deal with it. As far as the story tells us, the signal could be someone's favorite recipe for meat loaf.
Those are the worst ‘Ambassadors’ I’ve ever heard of.. No character development, rather just random flipping of personalities and decisions, especially Zortex. Hateful and antagonistic one moment, then suddenly wise and supportive the next. But I kinda like the overall idea, even if it’s fleshed out kinda weirdly and exaggeratedly. Keep trying! Maybe have someone read it and edit next time? Can help avoid all the repetitions, etc. 88

Okay I thought I missed something cause I was listening while driving.
They’ve really got to give us a warning when they read ai slop
Drinking game: take a big gulp every time the words "save the galaxy" are said.
Alcohol poisoning all around...hick hick hickUP!
Same with “determination”.

This is why I read the comments. Thank you. I owe you 21 minutes.

I don't know why all you folks are harping on this minor detail. After all, the fate of the galaxy is at stake!
@@Denpachii lol, too true

This Galaxy is full of Alien fools
Some tough critics around here 😂. I liked it.
The critics need to rewrite it themselves.
I liked it to.

I want a dollar for each time the phrase "fate of the galaxy" is used.
Either they cracked the code and cab decipher the message or they didn't.

oh for god's sake after the human figured it out and the aliens dismissed him all he had to do was call his boss

Hearing that is enough to make me want to block channel
The irony, that an HFY channel uses an AI reader, which pronounces "weapon" as "wee-pon".
I love defensive weepons.
I liked the story, but the author did repeat himself a bit much

This is AI generated.
how do you know?

weepon? C'mon AI you can do better
You have got to warn us in the title when you’re reading ai slop because I get about halfway through and realize it’s pure bs.

This is AI walking, so the stuff useful to writers can run. Not a bad way to kill 20 minutes though.
Weak story, give it another try.
Rewrite it yourself.
You do understand he’s literally just reading something someone else wrote right? Just like every other sci-fi Reddit story reading channel.
There's nothing weak about this story. Check your arrogance.
boring
