The Social Implications Of "The Singularity Moment"

To me a kind of paradox emerges. If that kind of complexity were so close at hand for us here, then I would expect to see signs of the same but originating from elsewhere; other nearby planets. Assuming an affirmative in our case and elsewhere (where there should even be multiple instances) then why are we not seeing any signs of such AGI's? Is it because we are special or the first ones? No, we should expect to be right about in the middle of it all.

Hi Rahvin,Most of your post revolves around the idea that I'm arguing against the possibility of AGI. Hmm, sorry that you got the wrong idea from my short post. I can see how you got the idea though, as you made clear, due to its similarity to the Fermi Paradox and its application on this thread. But that reason, your given reason is only one among several for a seeming "paradox." I would say the main reason is that AGIs are not sending anything we can ascribe to them, rather than they do not (or cannot) exist at all. On the contrary I have long held the opinion that some form of AI would be the next stage of human evolution. Some of my musings about it have even landed here on EvC.I have been able to only read a few posts in total on the thread and so will do that before I look into the details of your previous post 95.
