For a moment lets assume there is some alien intelligent life on our galaxy which is older than us and that it have succeeded in creating super-intelligent self-modifying AI.
Then what set of values and/or goals it is plausible for it to have, given our current observations (I.e. that there is no evidence of it`s existence)?
Some examples:
It values non-interference with nature (some kind of hippie AI)
It values camouflage/stealth for it own defense/security purposes.
It just cares about exterminating their creators and nothing else.
We should also consider what beliefs or knowledge it could have that would cause it to stay home. For instance:
The Universe is a simulation and making parts of it more complex or expensive to simulate would shorten the life of other complex parts, would crash the simulation, would fail because the simulation wouldn't allow it, would draw undesired attention from the simulators, etc.
If their civilization spread to other stars, lightspeed limits would make them effectively independent, and eventually value drift or selfishness would cause conflict or would harm their existing goals
There is some danger out there, perhaps a relic of an even older civilization, and the best course is to hide from it; humans have not yet been attacked because we only started beaming out radio signals less than a hundred years ago
