What if in a couple of weeks, Earth is suddenly attacked by by outer-space Aliens, the aliens are being led by a human from Earth but is an ex-human at the time of the attack; the Aliens take over every government of every major country in the world, and set up collaborator governments (with humans). At this time, it's not clear why the Aliens are even interested in a backward species living on a backwater planet. But one hypothesis is that one of their goals is to make humans achieve singularity (think of the book "singularity is near" by Ray Kurzweil). Now the main question is, would you side with the Aliens or would you rebel against your new alien overlords?

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean about the aliens' goal...

In general I'd say if we are completely overwhelmed go along while assessing the situation and don't act up until we have some reasonable chance of success.

I'd definitely support the aliens. Especially if they were Vulcan.

Reaching technological singularity would be awesome, and humans are pretty lame. Go aliens!

I came into this thread expecting a serious discussion, and I found it. I would definitely side with the aliens because from your description it seems like we'll just have the same world except everyone would be under the same rules.

It'd be fairly easy for the alien overlords to make a crude youtube video saying "help the aliens because they want to help you become awesome". However given they're looking for meek subjects to rule I wouldn't entirely trust that. Obviously I'm in favour of transcendence but given that the media is pretty much under control I wouldn't be entirely convinced when I heard rumours it was for our own good.
In practice, I'd still continue my life as normal.

If they were aliens like this I would side with them.

I don't get why the aliens have to take over for us to achieve singularity or why they even care if we reach it. I probably wouldn't believe their bullshit excuse and would rebel is some fashion.

Well, we all saw in HL2 what has to be done. Give me a crowbar.
But I dont know what exactly singularity is, if it is a good thing, than let them come and lets singularize baby. :-D

The whole "hypothesis is that they want to help us achieve singularity" is fairly vague. It could be an alien cover story to keep us placcid.

So the aliens have abducted someone, can turn you into one of them, and control the government while offering us advanced technology?

I think our response is clear.

I startle after hearing those words, words speaking doom to our existence, to what we have come to value as human life. My mind processes the thoughts of an incoming invasion towards earth, and I can't help it but feel defeated, as if something of unmeasurable magnitude were to be on a collision course towards what I learned to call my home.

[image loading]

Being one of the few guys that had made any extensive and valuable work in the field of robotics and their intelligence, I had faced many arguments and debates pertaining the existence of an artificial creature walking amongst us, sharing our own same and self-obtained human rights. I faced exile after proving my theories to be based on a strong foundation for the design of these creatures even after performing extensive research and proving many theories on how the human mind operates and could be simulated using our long devoted digital models; they didn't want to give up their specialness and replace it with the thought that deep within, we're machines.

[image loading]

It had begun. Living off of rodent critters and underground water I set up a somewhat stable robot factory, basing the design of the new androids on the old, dusty models the government archived on my findings. Countless hours of uninterrupted work led me to the creation of a basic humanoid that would help me turn this one-man job into a two-ma-... or maybe we're not at that level yet... what I give a fuck about is that in any case, I'd be receiving assistance in the development of this earth-saving revolution of creatures, once deemed unspeakable, absurd, to human ears; creator and creation working together to fight off an impending doom.

To be continued?

Singularity is still not an end, but a means to an end. What will the aliens do with us once we have achieved singularity?

I would just continue my life in SCII and if I didn't have SCII when it happened I would go ahead and challenge the aliens to a game of SC:BW and play them Pv(wtf race they choose) or ask Day[9]/koreans/Idra/orb/painuser/thelittleone/white_ra/some other person besides myself to do it instead with the reasoning that I would most likely fail. If they didn't accept the challenge I would decide that if they could just turn the real world into SCII I would side with them and do pretty much anything they want.

I'd play SC:BW... no chance necessary... I'd probably play new UMS maps that involves the new aliens.
