is AGI inconsistent with the belief that there is other sentient life in the universe? If AGI is as dangerous as Eliezer states, and that danger is by no means restricted to earth much less our own solar system. Wouldnt alien intelligences (both artificial and neural) have a strong incentive to either warn us about AGI or eliminate us before we create it for their own self preservation? So either we arent even close to AGI and intergalactic AGI police arent concerned, or AGI isnt a threat, or we are truly alone in the universe, or the universe is so vast and even the most intelligent systems possible cannot overcome the distances (no warp drive or wormholes or FTL travel) that we’ll be long dead to our own AGI before any warnings arrive.
I agree with your comment. Also, if any expansionist, deadly AGI existed in our galaxy say, 100,000 years ago, it would already have been to Earth and wiped us out. So we kind of can rule out nearby expansionists deadly AGIs (and similar biological aliens). What that actually tells us about the deadlyness of AGIs is an interesting question. It is possible that destruction by AGI (or some other destructive technological event) are usually are fairly localized and so only destroy the civilization that that produced them. Alternatively, we just happen to be in one of the few quantum branches that has not yet been wiped out by an ED-AGI, and we are only here discussing it because of survival bias.
