It's extremely odd that we don't see autonomous probes from other civilizations that are used to monitor and disable technology that exposes existential risk to them. (For example, runaway AI would jeopardize all life if it were to expand at light speed.)



Can you imagine the likelihood of detecting such probes?

Can we even detect any of the probes that we ourselves have sent out, without knowing exactly where they are and how to communicate with them?


Maybe if they are advanced enough to send those probes specially if it's for _their_ defense then it's pretty well cloaked and small?
