And For Our Next Trick…

Next on the list? The team has begun translating Linear A, now that they’ve tried Linear B, to C if they can complete what linguists already have.

The implications are monumental. AI affords the opportunity to work tirelessly and accurately - as meatbags still require rest. The trade-off being the human imagination that so often makes the important connections (what if translating/comparing all these languages is the final spark Google’s AI needs for the singularity, if it hasn’t already 😮). Imagine an AI running 31,000 translations at once, unlocking secret after secret - Alexandria rebuilt.

There are about 6,500 - 7,000 languages currently spoken in the world. According to some linguistic estimates, there may have been upwards of 31,000 in all of history. (31,001 if you count Vulcan?)
