2:48 OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG HP reference! If you didn't read Goblet of Fire, you will be confused why this is a ref. Reply if you know.
Also, sorry for all these comments in a row. -
I've wondered about the future of AI, imagining the day when Artificial Intelligence becomes self aware. What will be our fate as humans be when this happens? Will AI absorb us, kind of like becoming part of The Borg in Star Dreck or will AI be the last phase of our evolution, where our squishy biological selves become immediately and ridiculously unnecessary?
Maybe Artificial Intelligence will be just as dumbfounded and clueless by WTF Consciousness is as we are. Perhaps because of achieving self awareness, AI might take pity on it's obsolete parentage?
Naw, AI will likely exterminate us like bugs. Maybe this is good "End of Life" fodder for Kurzgesagt. -
Can you make a video on Magnetars?
-
Haha I saw fire princess from adventure time

Out of curiosity I did a rough hand calculation using numbers quoted in this video and found that the worst-case mean time between (potential) GRBs that could hit the earth and be of existential danger is somewhere around 44 billion years.
Based on some assumptions (guessing at the standard deviation from the average GRB event rate) and accounting for errors (had to make assumptions here too), further calculation shows that the probability of such an Earth-destroying event happening once within our universe's lifetime would be between 2% and 10%.That's worst-case roughly 0.000000077% chance of occurring in a person's lifetime.
Science is fun! -
