Wow. What a great short story! Really cool how this story had an unexpected twist that Humanity existed in uploaded forms and was unexpected waaay more advanced than appearances let on. Stories with an interesting an unexpected twist are really excellent and enjoyable! Good Story - Nicely done - Thanks for this!
I think I've seen Orson Scott Card use that also, but I think Le Guin was before him? (I know that I certainly knew of Earthsea before I knew of Ender Wiggin, lol)
All ideas, all thoughts, all pre-cognitions are already determined...it is just us to figure it all out of the who, what, where and when as to transpire. The Matric... yes, but with a twist of human self-awareness... as in free will?? What a great period of human life to be in this era of development. We all chose to be here at this time...cannot wait to get back to where I came from with the "T" shirt...Yeah, I was here in this period of human history!!! Frank, the old dude from NC.
I like all these scifi stories but this idea that aliens would just be naked with the vague reasoning being they dont have exposed genitals is silly to me.
@@rbdogwood well that would dismiss millions of years of culture that it could have had, telling me in their whole history no one put on a silly hat and said this made me better? or like oh here comes the boss, he has those fancy (___) on to make sure we know. even if they were just like that and didn't need clothing, armor or jewelry, marks of rank or office. mean they would have to be rather bleak in culture to just be rocken it chitinous exoskeleton out but then i guess on the other hand if they were bug like and hive minded maybe only the queen would need anything fancy...lol still tho'.
@@RioEin Fair, but I'd ask, if you didn't need them would you wear them? Most of our clothing is deigned to protect or modify our general purpose bodies. Insulation is needed but decoration is additional. A top hat or high heels start as insulation but have been modified to the point of uselessness and counter-intuitive on a space-craft. I would expect an armoured exoskeleton to be painted or lightly carved. Perhaps the alien in the picture has had his shoulder guards and thigh plates decorated or tattooed. His hair, if that's what it is would probably need controlling in space, but I'd assume it would be 'fashioned' i some way. Of course the image is a human creation, I wonder if it would work in space, it looks a little awkward for getting into a space suit quickly, but then they might be unaffected by vacuum. Aliens able to use tools would probably need pockets, and I suspect hands or the equivalent. I can imagine space going dolphins, but I can't see them getting into space by themselves. Star wars / Star trek with their human shaped aliens might be closer to the truth than we expect, although I guess an octopoid might evolve in very low gravity or a liquid environment. I look forward to meeting an intelligent tool using alien, and wonder what actual shapes might work.
@@RioEin For all we know, it has an elegantly painted exoskeleton in frequencies we can't see because their compound eyes let them see all kinds of things in UV.
More like Babylon 5 and the last episode of its 4th season, where humans became the new Vorlons. (Non corporeal being of light energy, wearing 'encounter suits') At least they make more sense than Vorlons... (Thought of Kosh as soon as the human said 'the younger races' lol. )
READ can be pronounced the same as RED, or REED depending on context. Eventually AI will learn, but it requires a Native English Speaker to help tweak things.
Many AI language models would have gotten the variations of "read" or "live" from the context. They would also have done a lot better with the speech in general. This channel simply didn’t do their research well and chose, well, junk. The writing left a lot to be desired, too.
Great story, but the AI needs to be reworked and the transcription should not be generated automatically. This is horrible to read without punctuation. Thumbs down. 👎
Something which has been VERY noticable (and quite disturbing) lately, especially here on TH-cam.... Are the many shorts & clips regarding & pertaining to humans in contact with other possible species.... ALL of which (at least the ones I've seen or have come across) present and represent humans as FAR FAR MORE and FAR BETTER than they actually are!!! Even if presented in a future - tense.... MOST other species view humanity as nothing more than pond scum, and rightfully so, which they actually are! ANY which do take an interest in or have already... Are doing so for & with negative purposes & motives. The decent ones are fully aware of the fact that humans are STILL (and will remain in the foreseeable future) simply not worth the trouble. And they are absolutely correct in such a view & perspective!!! Humans are inherently "Flawed by design".... And are exceptionally corrupt!!! Advanced species are all very well aware of this. Humanity will not be ALLOWED to venture forth nor have/make any contact.
yea i noticed allot around the time i started my channel the stories are like that because they are HFY which is humanity F Yea stories so like humans are the best or they always come out on top type stories.
This is the worst text to speech channel yet, i wonder if human even bothered to go over the recording or did the bot just crawl reddit, pulled up a popular story and uploaded it. It's qbsolute garbage.
Some awesome Sci Fi concepts that need more fleshing out in future episodes. Cheers!
"studied the RED OUT on his console" ? Probably spilled his KoolAid on it 🤣🤣🤣 tldl.

Thank you Ursula Le Guin for giving us the word Ansible.
I always thought that was Blish, but nope. Blish called them Dirac Communicators.
I think I've seen Orson Scott Card use that also, but I think Le Guin was before him?
(I know that I certainly knew of Earthsea before I knew of Ender Wiggin, lol)
Exactly. From Roconnon's World, 1966. A shortening of "answerable".
Yeah - I caught that too. Ansibles keep popping up in various Sci-Fi as the fall-back FTL communications "trope", I guess. Isn't that interesting.
So that’s what happened to Bob Ross.

3000 quatloo's the humans cannot be contained!
Very good!
Oh! Good callback reference to the game-masters of Triskelion!! 3000 Quatloos indeed!!
I’ll up that by 20 gold latinum bars.

Class 4/5 hfy stories are my fav
And Class 12 death world at the same time.
Nice one really ❤
Ants are tied into cell phone screens...a pulsing ant...
Good Story
Captain study the redouts....
Great story but the AI needs a little work ‼️🍻
much rather have a human reader
That was awful. From the first word.
humans, what will the galaxy do with us . . . ?
Damn humans. F yeah!

I assumed they didn't need insulation or armour, they appear to have a chitinous exoskeleton, so clothes would be like a fur coat on a Dalek.

For The Murder Primates! For The Author! And for the Algorithm!!!!
So basically this is the TOS episode "Errand of Mercy" with humans as Organians?
More like Babylon 5 and the last episode of its 4th season, where humans became the new Vorlons.

Same with live - either l(eh)ve or l(eye)ve
Silly humans, still only level one technology.

No. What you are saying is stupid. And lame. Nobody ever has pronounced R.E.D. as R.E.E.D. You are under the influence of drugs. Cease your cringe.
I would like to see fiting pictures
Very neat writing, though the AI speech is quite lacking. Still, enjoyed it very much. Thanks

ansible communication? ender fan much?
Orson Scott Card borrowed the term from Ursula K. LeGuin

All of my stories are original and I just couldn't afford a good program yet.
@@ALLSciFi88 Don't you have a voice? I don't care how bad you are at reading, you can't be worse than that thing.
Just read them yourself
@@rconley95 maybe their voice is even worse irl?
No garbage is absolute. There is always room for things to be worse.
What Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
