d) Expansion is at near c, and so it’s unlikely that Earth would be in a thin rim where it can see the expansion, but no vN probes arrived yet.
Also, those considerations do not depend on this being some misaligned AI as opposed to just aliens, you know, who want to expand. Or at least some fraction of aliens who do.
If we allow vN probes, our own existence becomes quite surprising. Why would they arrive into our solar system now as opposed to 1 billion years earlier?
I think that the cosmological evidence suggests against the existence of cosmic expanders (or they already did turn the universe into computronium and we’re in an ancestor simulation).
