I have often wandered if there is some sort universe limitation to general AI singularities particularly if the current universe is actually a simulation. An intellectual singularity or extremely rampant aggressive intelligence might be an errant state that gets dealt with (aka universe circuit breaker / watchdog). This might also explain the Fermi Paradox.
The other idea I have doted on is that perhaps universes are the manufacturing tool to create super AI by some parent universe.

I have no interest in living forever but I really really wish I could be told what will happen or what did happen or what all is. I'm sure specialized intelligence will continue to improve but my gut says general intelligence is probably not in our lifetime (or is limited or capped from above mentioned pop-culture-probably-wrong reasons).

- erikpukinskis 10y agoI'm curious: how interested are you in understanding the Earth ecology? Because we understand very little about it, and we are very rapidly destroying the information it contains. I ask because I wonder, if we did meet or make a creature which could learn everything, if it wouldn't say some variation on "99.9999% of everything there is to know is right there in your ecology and visible to the naked eye. Go look." I also wonder if one of the first things the sentient AIs teach us is that yes, we are committing an egregious ongoing information Holocaust through habitat destruction.
