"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI SOLVES THE FERMI PARADOX
Bacteriaphages are no more dangerous to complex life than a knife is to single-cellular life.

How? Do you know how they work? What they are? You have literally trillions in your gut right now. There are literally more bacteriaphages inside of you than human cells and bacteria combined.
I wouldn't say "solves" so much as answers whether our great filter is ahead of us or behind us (it's the former, btw).
