My guess is that an earth based intelligence might still have some major stuff to figure out, but, the things you list there seem like things I’d expect a “fully leveraging all solar resources” brain to have enough resources to figure out. Like, I buy that they are harder than they might seem at first glance but not that hard cosmically speaking. There is only so much physics and Von Neuman Probe Psychology / Control / Alignment Theory to figure out.
(Seems like there may be another round of ontological update when it comes time to actually do Acausal Trade For Serious with GalaxyBrain level tech)
i disagree, but i have a feeling that the source of disagreement might lie within our respective metaphysics, and (on my side) I realise that the above arguments might be fighting a proxy war. me see if a point of agreement can be found without the need to get too far from the material discussed so far.
i personally think that, if an agent manage to eat the solar system due to its increased intelligent and knowledge, it would find further interesting things to discover. in the postratfic linked at a very beginning I made an attempt to render this sorta tymic impulse in an emotionally resonant way.
