Would you agree that any extraterrestrial life form we might ever have
meaningful contact with during our pre-Singularity phase will have to be
a post-Singularity civilization and thus most likely feature/consist of
AGI technology?
The amount of spacetime which that life form would have to overcome in
order to visit us would probably be enough to trigger a technological
Singularity even if they went out as a pre-Singularity species? They
might of course be able to manipulate spacetime itself ... but I guess
it is safe to assume that this already would represent a
post-Singularity or almost-Singularity technology? Also if they manage
to obtain a spacetime-manipulating technology they would probably be
able to recall the more primitive vessel (which they might have sent out
earlier) in some way and send a new one?
That likely would mean that as a pre-Singularity species you can only be
found/contacted and that finding inevitably only happens as a
post-Singularity life form?
This of course would make SETI even more pointless (unless the alien AGI
thingy floats around within our solar system's vicinity in a detectable
form, fully aware of our presence and without any incentive of
contacting us ... and that combination seems rather
illogical/improbable?) and most sci-fi movies involving human contact
with non superintelligent/godlike/semi-AIXI-like aliens even more
unrealistic?
kind regards,
