‘Humanity Lost,’ a worldbuilding project and graphic novel series by artist Callum Diggle, imagines a future where humans have merged with a god-like artificial intelligence, and are now the most dangerous lifeforms in a galaxy full of aliens. It’s an exciting twist on the genre, and a story that features some particularly inventive speculative lifeforms.
At the start of the 26th century, humanity has yet to give itself over to the AI. Under the oversight of the United Earth government, humans populate every major celestial body in our solar system. On Earth’s moon, giant lava-tubes are terraformed and become home to great cities larger than any on Earth.
Yet as humans seek out more and more distant planets, they soon encounter another sentient species, one which will set them on a path towards a dark future…

@@blugaledoh2669 Well, our perspectives on what aliens could be are largely limited because of needing actors to portray these creatures, until very recently. But even with animation, the model has tended toward humanoid more often than not, simply because we would tend to relate to them more than something more "alien". Does make me think that we need some creativity back in sci-fi, something genre defining and fresh. But what are the odds these days?

I just thought of the Elcor from Mass Effect. They're quadrupeds, and have communication that most species see as too subtle to really "get" what they're trying to say. Another good example are species like the Hanar, basically sentient jellyfish. Not too many examples of really "alien" creatures from game series other than that coming to mind right now though. At least without some big cliche attached to them. I think Klaatu from "The day the Earth stood still" is an interesting example of possible alien life though, having to be born here and adapt to our environment.

@danielharvison7510 2 жыл бұрын

Hyper-intelligent? I dunno. I suppose from a human perspective, a post-human/ai hybrid might seem intelligent, it's frighteningly short-sighted. If it's going to do nothing but consume any world it comes across, it's going to come to a point where there either aren't enough resources to sustain such rapacious growth, or run out of worlds and resources to consume. There's no analysis of what its done so far, no evaluating whether this or that is a good path or how well its decisions have been, it just seems single minded, wanting to do nothing but consume. If I were to compare that AI to anything in popular culture, I'd have to go with Samaritan, from Person of Interest. Even that one took the time to review its decisions and try to "guide" humanity according to its perspective of our needs and limitations. If I were that last human, I'd think things looked a little bleak, to put it mildly. Poor fella.

Honestly, it's always interesting to see humans being regarded as a dangerous alien lifeform just as we are, no super AI or generic engineering required. Humanity Fuck Yeah is a genre where that's a pretty core tenant, and traits we take for granted or being weak are looked upon by aliens as being something...well, utterly alien and terrifying. For example, a photosynthetic species would find our predatory nature horrifying; imagine explaining to an alien how we can function with a spike though our brain; or imagine an alien with no adrenaline-like hormone witnessing a human break out of bonds that should seem impossible.

Hearing this story made me feel really uneasy, seeing my race become cold monster who know no pity really made me hope this is far from what we'll become someday. Some other people have made the connection of the Imperium from this story to the Imperium of Man from the Warhammer 40k universe, but I think this could relate more to the Necron's story from the same universe. They were pitiful creatures who made contact with the Old Ones, a super advanced galactic race that had incredibly long lifespans, while the Necrontyr were frail and sick. So they grew envious of them and declared them war but they were heavily outmatched and almost eradicated, until they met the cosmic deities the C'tan and made an alliance. From that point onward Necrontyrs were no more, replaced by the Necrons, cold immortal automaton without emotions that obliterated the Old Ones and the other races who opposed them. Maybe the sadness I felt watching this video was the same the Silent King felt after seeing his people made into mindless killing machines, the same grief that eventually lead him to rebel against the C'tan and shattered them all. After this video I think I can relate more to him. I suggest you go read more about the wh40k universe, it has a lot of good stuff in it

This reminds me of the short story "The Monster" by A.E. van Vogt. It is an alternative take on the "humans are Cthulhu" idea. Instead of joining together with a genetic AI, each individual human is able to radically warp reality to their will, but Earth got sterilized by a gamma-ray burst. Decades or centuries after humanity dies out, an intrepid crew of technological aliens finds Earth, deserted. After a brief exploratory mission, they revive several humans at different levels of transhumanism. The last one, by far the most powerful, steals the technology of bringing the dead back to life; this simultaneously screws over the aliens and ensures the revival of humanity after our extinction. It is a fantastic read that really imagines just how problematic humans with reality-warping abilities could be.

@@britishaviator5942 That is true. Maybe a more realistic free humanity would live more like the Romani, and they would constantly migrate as far away as possible from the AI. They would use some Faster-Than-Light travel that would allow them to outrun their own electromagnetic signature, and they would avoid any comms that rely on warp drive to be transmitted, instead using old methods of radio communication. I can imagine such an AI using warp drives to send little probes everywhere to spot the human migrants and send forth light and fast spacecrafts to carry out pogroms. For this reason, the humans would be constantly on the move. There might be some goal of traversing into one of the massive "voids" faraway from any star system and only venturing towards stars to replenish resources. Another alternative may be to orbit near black holes that might disrupt warp speed transportation and obscure the humans' electromagnetic signature. Humans may also attempt to create a new AI that follows a specific code of laws similar to Asimov's Laws of Robotics that can fight or delay the malicious AI, or they may modify themselves with AI and enhancements, but these would be regulated by a religious code that prohibits altering certain key human characteristics such as consciousness or mating. There could also be simple genetic modifications done to create "superhumans", but these would have to be heavily regulated to maintain genetic diversity and avoid creating Space Hapsburgs.

Well humanity should not have done what it did at the start there is also the question of whether or not the conglomerate gave them the option of reasonable surrender or peace. If the conglomerate just went into the war intent on extermination or effective enslavement of humanity then humanity’s action is not unreasonable, I mean if you are going to die anyway why not take the other guys down in your death throws. On the other hand if the conglomerate was measured in its punitive action then humanity is unjustified in its actions. Basically if the conglomerate was like “this species is being tyrannical with their with there superior technology so let’s commit genocide against them with ours” then humanity doing something desperate when pushed onto the thin ice is understandable and even reasonable, if not then they had become monsters before their transformation by the AI.

@@georgesparling7179 I know this was just a brief summary of events thus far, but he never mentioned anything about The Conglomerate declaring war on humans. He just said they decimated and removed all human presence off Chiron. It was the humans that regarded the act as an act of war. Reads to me more like there was no option for surrender, but also there was no declaration of war from The Conglomerate's end. They simply wanted to swiftly remove humanity from Chiron and both check their abusive advancements on other worlds and place their sense of entitlement over other worlds and their native populaces in check. He said humanity's activities on Chiron "awakened" The Conglomerate, meaning they were inactive prior to this, which gives the impression of it being more of a policing alliance rather than a power-flexing one that actively seeks out targets to flex it's power on. He also said that humanity felt completely out-matched by The Conglomerate. With these two things in mind, it wouldn't make sense that A) a supremely powerful policing alliance that only becomes active when needed like The Conglomerate would suddenly wish to exterminate an entire species just because it can and B) that humanity would be allowed the time to develop and activate a dangerously powerful AI and then the time for said AI to completely absorb and transform humanity into bio-mechanical weapons by said supremely powerful force if it was out to exterminate them.

You're assuming that humanity at large, freely accepted the decision, and wasn't forcibly or unknowingly altered by the AI. Even if some were able to flee Earth or escape notice, the likelihood of them having the resources or population to survive past a few generations to the time where the "last human" is revived, is probably incredibly low. I also can imagine that the AI might have adopted a "no loose ends" strategy after converting humanity. Can't have potential saboteurs attempting to destroy you or reverse what you did, when you have a war to fight for, what you've been told, humanity's survival.

As often with superintelligence takeover stories, I ask myself "is there a logical reason to not eventually phase out biological platforms?". I have yet to read this, but I think I found an answer: the fragility of organic automatons is its feature. A superintelligence would fear rogue elements, so it would keep only its most vital, tightly controlled elements electronic/metallic. Everything else would be organic based (appropriating and in fiction terms "corrupting" current biology, rather than inventing something new for no real gain). This makes it easy to keep the drones planet-bound, less resourceful, and easier to destroy in case of rebellion.

This project sounds like the antithesis to "All Tomorrows" by C.M. Kösemen in which humanity is the ultimate victim. Someone should set up a spectrum of scifi books or works that explore extraterrestrial beings in relation to humankind. For instance, begin with "All Tomorrows" and end with "Humanity Lost". What could be extra interesting is an eventual book or work made that encompasses the entire spectrum. In turn, it might produce a more complete picture of humanity's experience if we actually encountered aliens. I think at the very least it would be entertaining to read.

Sounds a bit like the Dark Age of Technology from the Warhammer40k universe. During that age, humans have developed intelligent machines to do pretty much all the work for them. Exploration, administration, construction, war, all those things were handled by machines, while humans themselves were only responsible for diplomacy and supervising colonisation projects. Those machines were so powerful that in fact they pushed back almost every alien species they came across and allowed humanity to conquer more than two thirds of the Milkyway galaxy. Due to a catastrophic event the machines eventually rebelled and the humans barely won the war against them, which left their whole civilisation in ruins. After that, all those alien species who had previously encountered and suffered under mankind ran amok and killed or enslaved humans wherever they could find them without asking any questions. Eventually mankind got back on its feet again and now the duty to genocide every non-human species is an actual law in their Imperium of Man, and they're damn good at it to say the least.

I want to say that this project also parallels human history a bit.

I wish there were more stories like this. I feel like if anything humans will be more hostile and to be honest I enjoy that thought, at least we aren't the weaklings for once.

Humanity must come first. If other planets have intelligent life similar to ours than it must be exterminated for the survival of the species. Any other intelligent life Is an external threat to humans.

I'm so intrigued by this concept. It has multiple extremely similar (albeit far more fleshed out) ideas to a short story I've been working on, so it came as almost a shock to discover this video. Absolutely love the creative and scientific approach taken with the design of the aliens.

Yay! More spec-bio! Also this is FASCINATING and I love that someone really pushed the boundaries for sentient design. A couple others really have too, but this feels further and deeper than most
