    Yeah, I guess, I was also specifically complaining that they’re not put into the limelight as much, so that folks from outside the field (like me) hear much about it. It always feels like I have to actively research to know what state-of-the-art is. Meanwhile, this news outlet is apparently doing an alien week.

    I guess, I’m mostly just tired from how much limelight aliens are getting. But I also guess, broadcasting is basically the only useful thing we can do with potential aliens, so maybe this is the wrong tree to be barking up…

      Well, it is true, it certainly seems like hypothetical aliens are getting more attention than actual living creatures lately. I’m also hoping for a shift in this regard. Quite possibly it will happen with some cool machine learning powered breakthroughs.
