Your question assumes a disconnect between labor and AI systems. AI is built on mounds of cheap labor already. It’s going to have to replace things like mines and miners and a TON of labor all the way up the chain (including data center upkeep). It we can do that and build this thing capable manufacturing the autonomous robots that replace human labor, then humans would be in a pretty good place technology wise to defend ourselves. We’re also talking like many many many years in the future when we could do this. We’re far more likely to run out of resources and be forced to be a multi planet species to seek out this dream.

Thats why I mention no timeframe, my question is based on whenever the conditions I mention are met, not about how things are today which isnt nearly any good to get to that point
pretty good place technology wise to defend ourselves
Maybe but it would be hubris to assume if an advanced civilization capable to travel to other planets would be totally defenseless from us
I think a lot of this is kinda what I’m getting at too — it’s such a far fetched question, that it almost doesn’t matter. We are making so many assumptions (since this is not something remotely feasible at the moment) that it’s all completely up on the air.
I think maybe a different question might be: is there EVER a point where we are able to defend from an alien invasion. Which I’m not really sure what that answer would be. I think it’s not a technology question, but more of a political one since it would require a massive solidarity movement to unite.
it’s such a far fetched question, that it almost doesn’t matter
its not about whether this will ever happen which if it does i doubt it will be in our lifetime but more of a thought experiment of how such situation would go down
is there EVER a point where we are able to defend from an alien invasion
thats a good interesting question but a very different one
