Can you lay out explicitly what you mean by that? I’m not sure I understand.
If you are saying that the singularity will fundamentally change alter evolution, sure. Perhaps evolution will no longer proceed through proteins in a flesh covered body. But barring some stasis, there will be changes in the make up of a population. I don’t think it is that big of an assumption to say these changes will be more than random. Perhaps it is Dr. Evil who copies his consciousness n times, or people who undergo cognitive enhancement, but I don’t foresee the current mix of traits remaining constant.
Inferential Distance Out Of Bounds Exception: Fundamental premises and expectations about probable future outcomes incompatible.
Off the top of my head the options include
Everything is dead
Things stop dying
Things solve the critical cooperation problem.
Somebody just wins.
Grey goo (doesn’t die/mutate fast enough to evolve. Consumes all resources)
Paperclipping. It’ll self replicate probably but there will be no incremental changing based on the whim of selective pressure.
AGI of any other kind (FAI or otherwise).
Any other scenario in which the earth becomes a non-viable habitat without first seeding to somewhere else.
