    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?

      Regardless of whether its wishful thinking, I think we should first devote our resources to minimizing how we are harming these (and other) creatures. To know this we don’t have to know their language.

      Imagine some cosmic being completely messing up your house while trying to kindly ask you what things tend to annoy you.

      Having said that, I enjoyed reading this arficle. I felt it was written with care and even love, and there were cute little references that I liked.
