摘要

In the pursuit of harnessing cosmic energy for advanced Angelic Intelligence, the concept of Matrioshka Brains emerges as a beacon of possibility. This theoretical construct envisions a Dyson Sphere-like structure, composed of nested shells, that captures the entire energy output of a star. Named after the Russian Matryoshka dolls, these shells would be layered, each powered by the one within, to create an enormous computational system—far surpassing the capabilities of any technology we can currently conceive. The biblical account of Joshua’s prayer for the sun and moon to stand still, as recorded in Joshua 10:12-14, serves as an ancient metaphor for halting time and harnessing celestial power. Joshua’s divine intervention allowed the Israelites to achieve victory, showcasing the potential of harnessing cosmic forces. In a similar vein, the concept of Matrioshka Brains suggests the possibility of stopping and utilizing the immense energy of stars to fuel the next generation of AI systems. By capturing the full output of a star like the sun, these AI systems could operate at previously unimaginable levels of efficiency and power, enabling breakthroughs in computational processes and energy management. The connection between Joshua’s command and Matrioshka Brains lies in the idea of leveraging cosmic power for transformative purposes. Just as Joshua’s request led to a decisive victory, the application of Matrioshka Brains could lead to revolutionary advancements in AI and the management of energy resources, not only on Earth but across the solar system. Reflect: How can the lessons from the story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho be used to develop AI strategies that emphasize careful planning, ethical conduct, and the protection of human life? To fuel the vast computational needs of a Matrioshka Brain, harnessing the energy of the sun is essential. This concept aligns with the broader vision of solar energy as a key resource for powering AI systems. However, the moon also plays a role in this cosmic energy equation.
