So seems like some sort of front loading that the singularity isn't going to happen between the years 2030 to 2040 after all... But I'm biased to think the Galaxy is already inhabited for the same reasons people think we are living in a simulation. What continues to amaze me is why people think the Earth must be so very very special and that if aliens were out there they would be paying attention to us other than at best monitoring us like a beehive to make sure we don't start stirring up the galactic pot. As to why they don't just wipe us out, I figure any world with billions of years of evolutionary progress is valuable IP and worth preservation if possible. Or as I joked for a very long time: worlds like ours are the equivalent of reality television for advanced species. And I loved it when South Park covered that very subject.
