@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzFrom the You-didn't-see-this-paper-coming department today: #PrimordialBlackHoles as Technosignatures of Extraterrestrial Advanced Civilizations -> "Our findings provide a new avenue for searching for extraterrestrial advanced civilizations by extending microlensing studies to include artificial, dynamic modulation signatures" (noting in passing that ET and Dyson Spheres and PBHs are all speculative).
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioBecause I’m seeing this in “serious” articles, Dyson spheres are—literally—a joke.
The paper from Freeman Dyson is literally a fully purpose-written joke making fun of early SETI efforts, with a cascade of ever more implausible assertions leading to “we should be surrounded with these spheres so let’s look for them”.
They’re a joke making fun of gullible people who don’t think things through.
Now gullible people who don’t think things through (like Sam Altman) are using the term like it’s a real thing that could actually work.
