JWST can probably detect signs of life sure, but specifically intelligent life? Lmao no.

Edit: ok maybe not an lmao no but I'm still skeptical

An unmistakable techno signature could be used to infer "intelligent" life. Or at least some kind of technological thing or another.

Wheeee: Mar 11, 2001; When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

to be fair there could be director's discretionary time devoted to studying some exoplanet that we might not know about. I'm not sure though, maybe they publish the DDTs.

I genuinely don't know, can something like CFCs be positively identified at such a distance? My thought was you'd be able to determine the chemistry of the planet as a whole and pick out somethings like water vapor and indeterminate organic compounds, but I'm not a chemistry nerd.

the aliens will find it and look at what remains of earth and think "what the gently caress happened here bro"

Table 1. The top 8 signals of interest identified by our ML model. We list the name of the ON-source target star, the frequency at the middle of the relevant ∼11 kHz snippet, the MJD of the detection, the topocentric drift rate, as well as the S/N of the signal. The HIP prefix in the source name shows that these targets are drawn from the Hipparcos catalog21

I dunno how to look these up without getting an enormous technical data dump. somebody figure out how to show like a starmap or some poo poo so that we can see where and how far away these all are in relation to the sun and what we know about each one without having to be a fuckin astrophysicist
