Episode notes
Autonomous Probes Need Onboard AI
- Long-distance probes must be autonomous because light-delay prevents Earth-based control.
- Avi Loeb argues AI brains on spacecraft are essential for interstellar missions.
Collect Data For Low-Probability High-Impact Events
- Treat interstellar visitors as low-probability, high-impact risks and gather maximal data.
- Prioritize anomaly detection before ruling out technological origin.
3I/ATLAS Is Anomalously Massive And Aligned
- 3I/ATLAS appears anomalously large and bright for a recently discovered interstellar object.
- Loeb highlights its size, plane alignment, and rarity as reasons to question purely natural origins.
