I hate to be the guy who discovered the aliens that conquered and enslaved our planet. And you know if there are aliens and they are out there looking for stuff, then they are likely not benevolent and even if they are benevolent there is no telling how their interests align with ours, for instance A Small Talent for War:

- rbanffy 10y agoWhat use would aliens who can conquer planets have for slaves? The good thing is that, if you become history's worst villain, it's most likely history will not last much longer.
- devoply 10y agoWell one reason could be that it's cheaper than producing 7 billion robots. You know economic reasons. Not because they can't do it, it's just not cost effective. It's much cheaper going to a planet and taking all of its population to work your asteroid mines in that solar system. Often we do things not because we are not capable of alternatives, but it's cheaper. So would the aliens. Or it could be as trivial as they enjoy eating meat, and this is a a good meat planet. It's cheaper than farming. You just go from planet to planet for meat. Replenish your world ship's freezers by harvesting the planet. Possibilities are infinite, or at least similar to the size of the universe itself.
