I think that aliens sent us their technology purposely so that we would backwards engineer the technology and eventually build the infrastructure required for a highly advanced AI alien to beam itself to earth and take over.

Very interesting. I wrote a little bit about what a Superintelligent AI Takeover would actually look like, it is based off of Nick Bostrom's research about Superintelligence and AI design. The masses are not aware of the rate at which we are progressing. It's crazy to me that in a little less than 50 years, we have gone from playing Pong(a simple, two-dimensional game) to experimenting with Virtual Reality(VR). In which some of the VR applications are indistinguishable from actual reality.
Have you written more about this? I would be interested to read more.
I haven't written more, just something I thought was an interesting thought. It would certainly be a more efficient way for a species to colonize other planets than sending all of the physical material, also, an AI being/species would have the benefit of light speed travel, or at least near light speed depending on how large of a file they were.
I have not to be honest, I am a bit of a computer geek myself and I have an extremely hard time trying to grasp just how intelligent artificial intelligence is. I believe there would be a mass-panic uproar if the world knew just what kind of sleeping dragon that we are kicking. Are your writings on here? I will take a look at them if so.
^ ^ That's an interesting theory and I can't call it far fetched because stranger things have been known to be true. We DO have to take into account the technological BOOM that the world has witnessed in the past century.
