    There are also rumors, which may be untrue, of a Majestic 12 committee making deals with aliens in exchange for tech. It may be that advances in semi-conductor technology are the “trojan horse,” with AI being a natural and probable consequence of that which was genuinely discovered after the chip advances or with AI first being developed by government and then leaked to the public later via papers and then commercially made public, with the end result making the earth uninhabitable for humans. We also don’t know if aliens and UFOs are merely biological life/advanced travel or if they are some sort of technological/bio hybrid. It’s also possible that these are crazy rumors made up by people who can’t fathom science. I understand the statistical and computational logic of AI, so that doesn’t seem that crazy to me, but sudden semi-conductor advances seem impossible to fathom; but I could just be ignorant. One flaw in an analysis like this is that even without UFOs, aliens, and computers, humans were doing a great job of exponentially obliterating the normal natural environment just based on pollution emissions from cars and other processes.

    Who knows?

      I mean let’s say we manage to develop advanced AI before we develop ships that can transport humans across the galaxy safely. If we send AI probes to a world like ours with a species like ours how different would their experience be than ours right now? Elite oligarchy enabled by slow drip of advanced tech to consolidate control and then give up agency to AI? Climate change, possibly terra forming against the interests of the target species? Weakened world government and international order to promote discord and violence? Seems a little like we’d follow the playbook the Americans did with their genocide of the natives, divide and conquer. Is there anything happening right now that wouldn’t fit that narrative if it was flipped around with us as the target species?
