Even on the remoteest of chances that there is it a sapient life form capable and technologically advanced enough to contact us in this galaxy cluster, much less nearby?

Why the hell would they? We are obviously fucking crazy.

Science. Threat analysis. Entertainment at our silly ways.

If they have abundant resources and energy, sending probes wouldn't be a challenge.

Xenoanthroplology. We're obviously not crazy and our many cultures are presumably much different from theirs. There would be enormous amounts to learn from studying our differences and our similarities.

Unless they've already simulated alien life in computer models... Then there's not a lot left to learn.
