Suppose space aliens were more powerful than us and wanted to exploit us somehow. How would they do it? I don’t think they would enslave us for physical labor, because they would already have great robots that could work better than us, due to their advanced technology. I think they might be interested in our physical resources such as uranium, if their ships run on uranium. They might also enslave us just for mental labor and white collar work, because they might have had their advanced AI revolt against them (assuming the aliens themselves aren’t advanced AI beings) and they won a war against them, so now they might be looking for new white collar workers. Or maybe they might like our land and think our planet has good weather, so they would land their people here and just bomb our cities until we surrendered all our land to colonists. Maybe they would want to keep our cities intact, so they could live in them. Then they might kill us with diseases. How do you think it would go down?
