The issue isn't them using radio, it's that it's on top of another encoding. If someone sent you raw radio data, what's it modulated by? Frequency? Phase? Ampl

The issue isn't them using radio, it's that it's on top of another encoding. If someone sent you raw radio data, what's it modulated by? Frequency? Phase? Amplitude? A combination of the three? Is it multiplexed with other data? And then, if you magically figure that out, it's not even in a language you speak? If it's even a spoken language! Good luck haha.

I don't think we would expect to understand any of their radio data, but we might at least be able to recognize that it's alien in nature

  If it is encrypted would it look like noise?

    Encryption tries to make the payload look like noises, but the wave patterns are still very much represent standardized symbols.

    I don't think that's an answerable question, unless we assume a lot about the unknown encryption.

  Temba, his arms open. Communicating like this must be what it's like being an LLM trying to understand your training data.
