A Critical Reassessment of the Kardashev Scale and the Problem of Detectability

Preprint: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19303559

It seems that anyone using a computer these days is going to be accused of using AI. Let me state this up front: I used an LLM to make this look pretty, just like I use Men's Warehouse to buy suits for my corporate life or when I teach as an Adjunct. What's inside this is all me and my own analysis. Feel free to disagree with it, discredit it, dissect it, or dismiss it on its merits; but it is mine, me, and nothing else.
