Thought the same thing. Compressed, imperfect backups of the sum total of human knowledge.

Each local LLM could kickstart civilizations and technological progress in case of catastrophe. Basically global seed vaults but for knowledge and information.

That's pretty crazy now that you got me thinking deeper.

Civilizations in the future could send out cryostatic human embryo pods to planets billions of lightyears away that are suitable 'hosts' with AI with the collective knowledge of humanity as we know it that will teach them from birth and restart civilization.

Or maybe we don't even need biological bodies at that point.

Fuck that would be a killer movie plot.

I'm thinking way too ahead, but I love sci-fi concepts like this.

And similar to the game horizon: zero dawn. They placed embryos in a doomsday bunker instead, but then raised them with ai to repopulate earth.

So quasi a Von Neumann probe with an incubator for humans.

Would be terrifying to wake up on a distant planet in another galaxy and learn from a 'bot' that you are the last living humans and need to rebuild civilization.

Would it be terrifying if that's all you know? Perhaps from our viewpoint, but growing up from birth and knowing that this is your purpose being guided by near omniscient AI could be a different story.

Sure, you're right, I'm projecting.

You can download the entirety of wikipedia, it is just 21GB and since it is just text and some images it can run on anything.

I think that is a pretty good start.
