Developing my worldview. Interested in meta-ethics, epistemics, psychology, AI safety, and AI strategy.
Conditioning on the alien intelligence being responsible for recent UFO/UAP discussions/evidence, then they are more advanced than us. If they are more advanced than us, they are most likely much more advanced than us (e.g. the difference between now and 1 AD on earth is cosmologically very small, but technologically pretty big)
To me it seems there is, yes. For instance, see this Harvard professor and this Stanford professor talk about aliens.
