It's a type II civ scam run by entities like Wylon Fusk.

Any civilization capable of making a Dyson Sphere would have figured something else out
Robert Bell
literal god tier tech in theory, civs that could build them probably wouldnt just build them willy nilly everywhere but rather a few for specific purposes requiring that level of retard energy

It's some sort of super-duper energy gathering device a future civilization could build assuming that they don't invent a better way to generate energy than to build solar panels.

This. You're not going to waste millions of years building this thing if you don't have something specific in mind.
Especially since the solor system does not have enough mass for one, nor is the lifetime of our sun finite.
You could just have a bunch of ONeill cylinder in orbit around a star.

Would they though? The concept of the project itself isn't that "complicated" relativity speaking, it's just the SCALE of the project more than anything.

Obviously it's a bit of a stretch for me to say "IT'S SIMPLE!!" given our current technology, but it's not like it requires too much fancy super sci-fi "zero point black hole energy harvesting singularity energy" kind of stuff.
