Embarrassing AI wish fulfillment article from The Atlantic, but I admire this project immensely. Please just figure out what they're saying and lurk before even thinking about posting. What a ridiculous idea.
The CETI and NASA aliens stuff is really just worthless to me. This is a way better use for such resources IMHO; understanding the "aliens" which are right next to us. We need to go beyond humanity and inhumanity if we are to survive. Who cares if aliens exist right now? How could we ever hope to meet them?
