ASTROPHYSICIST: AI KILLED OFF THE ALIENS

Astrophysicist Michael Garrett is making headlines for theorizing aliens might have been on the losing end of an existential problem, and we’re only just coming to terms with powerful AI.

Michael Garrett:

“I estimate the typical longevity of a (fully AI-enabled) technological civilization might be less than 100 years.”
