Is artificial intelligence the great filter that makes advanced technical civilisations rare in the universe?
This study examines the hypothesis that the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), culminating in the emergence of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), could act as a "Great Filter" that is responsible for the scarcity of advanced technological civilisations in the universe. It is proposed that such a filter emerges before these civilisations can develop a stable, multiplanetary existence, suggesting the typical longevity (L) of a technical civilization is less than 200 years. Such estimates for L, when applied to optimistic versions of the Drake equation, are consistent with the null results obtained by recent SETI surveys, and other efforts to detect various techno signatures across the electromagnetic spectrum. Through the lens of SETI, we reflect on humanity's current technological trajectory – the modest projections for L suggested here, underscore the critical need to quickly establish regulatory frameworks for AI development on Earth and the advancement of a multiplanetary society to mitigate against such existential threats. The persistence of intelligent and conscious life in the universe could hinge on the timely and effective implementation of such international regulatory measures and technological endeavours.

SKYNET also kills all the aliens.

The entire article is so stupid it must be a hoax. Billions of people with cameras all over the world scanning the sky and what's shown in the article for 'proof' are BS images of night vision triangular iris artifacts from a investigative journalist, Jeremy Corbell, that's been debunked a million times, even by the NY Post. Made Up BS again.

UFO expert debunks Navy footage of mysterious pyramid-shaped objects
The green-tinged video was captured by the Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) and initially leaked to filmmaker Jeremy Corbell, who created the documentary “Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers.”

It so nice that the triangular UFO has bright flashing standard aviation lights. So many were crashing on earth they decided to make it standard equipment on warp ships headed to our planet.
