Pretty much the same story in India. Leave alone fringe elements, things supporting mainstream opposition or questioning the dear leader (modi) or his favourite industrialist (adani) get called fake news and banned or attacked. Some of you might have heard of the bbc documentary on modi's genocidal politics and the Hindenburg report on adani's corruption which came out recently. Both are western propaganda to bring down resurgent india, according to the government. BBC documentary is banned and news agencies are busy equating adani with india and calling for action against Indian journalists and opposition who have been crying hoarse against adani's crony capitalism long before Hindenburg report. Government agencies including market regulators are threatening short sellers without so much as pretending to investigate the Hindenburg accusations, as adani stock tumbles.

The last line is being extremely optimistic. If you think about it, the universe is probably a dark forest, and if we find a signal, we should only study it; and find the origin. Then, wait and watch for a very long time. We don’t want to find out the hard way that broadcasting a powerful signal that can be detected light years from the source is suicidal. There is a very high likelihood that there are other species out there that are much more advanced than us and we need to be damn sure that the universe is more like Star Trek and not a shooting gallery.

I’m not even remotely an expert in AI or radio-astronomy, but I’d imagine the AI returned results, the researchers investigated the results, and then verified the unlikelihood of the results to be what they’d hoped, indicating a misalignment between what the researchers intended the AI to find and what it actually found. The model may simply need tuning, more or less.
