Probably an AI model that fits in that size. It might not be our best models, but it probably would be a lot more useful to aliens than whatever we'd decide to fit on 4GB.

They'd get mostly all the inner workings of our languages and how we do conversations and generally be able to answer basic questions about humanity.

AIs do a lot of different things. What kind of AI do you mean?

stable diffusion trained off of gay furry porn

A link with a cracked Minecraft client and an ip to join to a small server to chill with that alien.

Technically you can probably send a bunch of links, like Wikipedia etc. He "just" needs to access to it, which may or may not breach the 4GB rule.

Why do you assume the alien has access to the internet?

Damn, what a cheapskate. A chance to play Minecraft with a friendly space alien and you can’t even pay for a legit copy. Probably going to give that alien a computer virus and doom us all. Don’t put this guy in charge.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can agree with that, but I wanted to save the alien from having a Microsoft account.

[–] Joker@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You’ve got a point. On second thought, maybe a different game would be better.

[–] 30p87@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

Or just Wurstclient so he can play cracked

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the actual messages humanity has sent into space in the hopes that aliens will hear it since those are actually pretty cool.

I mean look at this crap. Look at how cool it looks. https://www.plover.com/misc/Dumas-Dutil/messages.pdf

  1. Again a cringe Word PDF title (why cant this program use normal Titles?)

  2. Why tf didnt they just draw our numbers and instead some crazy art stuff?

I would first find some big names from the demo scene and say "I am not worthy, let these folks do it" and anyone who disagreed would have their frontal lobes severed or something.

This, in its original form, was 4kb.

So, none of us are worthy. Unless one of you is on Lemmy.

Edit: this one is 1kb lmao. None of us are worthy.
