Resource limits:
If the universe is infitine there are infinite suns to use. And energy doesnt disappear. It just transforms.
Genes: i think you are caught up in semantics. Any alien race will follow the same building blocks of the universe. They may not be carbon, they may not be bipeds, they may not have sexes, but they cant skip evolution. Every planet every sun every organism follows an interative pattern. Thats a basic block of the universe we reside. You start from something, creator or not. And your race then is to survive period. Those are the 2 rules. If your survival is guaranteed because you have access to infinite resources and infinite escape routes, then over time, your race reflects that condition.
You can imagine killer robots. But everything comes from something. For creators to "escape", that implies they are trapped somwhere. And if they are trapped, that means they dont really have the means to move about freely. Perhaps the killer robots do exist, but they are just as constrained as we are by our tech.
- bluGill 6y ago> They may not be carbon But considering out failure to chemically get anything other than carbon to form the long chains of double bonds that carbon does, along with the fact that carbon is common unlike most of the other proposed choices (that seem like they should work but don't) they probably will be. Same applies to needing water. Other chemicals could substitute, but water is common unlike the rest.
