The ETs are not going to be interested in us, because they’re cyborgs.
The natural progression of evolution is from biological to cyborg. Once biological life gets smart enough, it builds cyborgs who are so superior to them, the cyborgs take over and dispense with the biological life.
Then the cyborgs are interested primarily in rich energy sources such as big stars. Neither our earth nor our sun has anything to offer them that they can’t get more easily elsewhere.
Agreed. If there are any advanced aliens out there, they have already mastered interstellar travel, have mastered age and disease, no need to eat and only interested in knowledge.
This hypothetical race probably destroys any other race that make a technological benchmark.
Or its just us.
“The natural progression of evolution is from biological to cyborg. Once biological life gets smart enough, it builds cyborgs who are so superior to them, the cyborgs take over and dispense with the biological life.”
I recently read an article about that very subject. The article posited that by 2050 we’ll have humanoid robots that are so lifelike and physically able, you won’t be able to tell them apart from biological humans.
In addition, the author postulates that they’ll run on artificial intelligence that, by that time, will be more advanced than human intelligence.
He went on to plead with lawmakers and robotics manufacturers to build in aoutomatic controls, to prevent this new race of cyborgs/androids from destroying humankind.
These advances are coming, and we’re going to have to deal with the consequences.
