Matt (et al),
Do you think it is likely that stronger/different evolutionary pressures
on life on a distant planet (let's ignore different universes with
different laws of nature for now) could result in a species which
a) had to be way more intelligent/rational than Homo sapiens in order to
become the/a dominant/technological species and thus allowing them to
arrive at their AGI equivalent way earlier/easier because of their
higher a priori intelligence?
b) features a less complicated or more flexible "brain" that would be
more straight forward to augment/upgrade for them? Like hair that just
grows as you consume food ... more processing power in good times, less
processing power in bad times. Of course this would not work with our
own brain design as processing power and memory are somewhat interwoven.
So this question really is about the universality of evolution and
whether some life forms might have huge advantages over Homo sapiens
when it comes to creating AGI/BCI/WEB technology (and I will not even
write about the implications on Fermi's paradox this time).
