You know, if we ever detect a SETI signal with an LLM as its payload, I'd totally get behind any proposal to RSVP the asswipe fuckers who sent such a jack-in-the-box with a Nicoll-Dyson laser, because those things LIE (and can't actually be made truthful):

Imagine they sent a copy of The Cat. Have you by chance read Blindsight by Peter Watts?

@Madagascar_Sky @arstechnica Yes I have read Blindsight (I was asked to cover-blurb it before it was published)
