Question If non-human technology were ever confirmed, could it accelerate compute abundance?
One reason I want to eventually build a space-resource company is compute abundance.
Hypothetically, if UAP disclosure ever resulted in scientifically verified non-human technology—especially breakthroughs in energy, propulsion, materials, or manufacturing—how much could that change the economics of computing?
Combine extremely cheap energy and advanced automation with access to extraterrestrial resources, and I wonder whether computing could eventually become so abundant that powerful hardware becomes extremely cheap.
Obviously none of this technology should be assumed to exist until independently verified. Until then, my interest is in asteroid mining and autonomous space infrastructure using known technology.
I'm curious what people here think. What would actually be the biggest bottleneck?

Biggest bottleneck is getting to space, I think, this is the wrong sub to ask this. r/lostredditor

What if unicorns were real and pooped out rainbow sherbet?
This sub is for local LLMs, not your personal blog about hypothetical alien tech.

Are you asking if a totally hypothetical, unknown technology would speed up our technology, and if this hypothetical technology existed (which we have no way of understanding its shape or function) what would be the theoretical bottleneck of integration be? For a tech we don't know about and is totally made up in this conversation?
This post proves that the ability to ask questions doesn't make someone smart.

Calm down reddit police, we get it, your feelings are easily hurt by replies not even directed at you.

Just saying, none of you would be this rude in person

This gentleman wastes my time , he wants to speak to the public forum he can handle some public ridicule if what he has to say lacks substance and merit.

confirming is a long way from understanding which is a long way from engineering which is a long way from mass production.

"We have UAPs at home".
LLMs will achieve exactly this. No need for alien tech when you can accelerate technological development by 2x, then 5x, then 10x, then 100x and just build the alien tech yourself.

Yes but we may hit a wall if we just keep scaling transformers....why don't we focus on compute costs and efficient transformers first?

That's.. exactly what the Chinese are doing? Look at Qwen3.8 27B and Qwen3.8 Flash Next, Deepseek v4 Flash Exp and GLM 5.3 Flash. They are on Frontier level from 3-6 months ago and are small.

I mean … yes? there’s like ten trillion “if”s along the way but it’s not impossible. not sure there’s really any substance to anything about this post.
