Aww, no alien empires yet
#18
So, what do you think? Is it a good idea for humanity to indulge in "Active SETI" even though humanity hasn't resolved the Fermi Paradox yet? What are your personal opinions on this?

As about my own personal opinion: Since the possibility of "griefers" cannot be ruled out (yet), it may be better to "keep quiet". So I'm on the side of people like Stephen Hawking. It's interesting to note that Hawking compared the arrival of Artificial General Intelligence to the arrival of representatives of a highly advanced interstellar civilization:

Quote:If a superior alien civilisation sent us a message saying, "We'll arrive in a few decades," would we just reply, "OK, call us when you get here – we'll leave the lights on"? Probably not – but this is more or less what is happening with AI.
