You mean better than the other aliens did? Fermi’s Paradox solved.

Honestly it does feel like a potential solution to the Fermi problem. Maybe once you reach the computation age you're kind of locked in to the "get wrecked by AI" path.

Or maybe they reach an enlightened equilibrium state where they have no need to expand, consume or communicate in ways that are visible to others.

I hope so! There's certainly room for optimism still. The "wrecked by AI" path is just one possibility. I doubt a true superintelligence or however you would like to call it would obliterate a lifeform as simple as humans. I guess I'm more worried about a less-than-super intelligence lol. Something like grey goo.
