If this is so, then as you say, ET AGI may only a marginal concern to us.
But presumably the reverse is not as likely to be true according to your
calculations ie. Earth-originated AGI that are sentient-unfriendly could be a
real worry to most other sentient ETs that will be out there by the time our
AGIs start wending their way across the (multi)universe.
So what should we be doing to make sure that our AGIs are friendly to ET
sentients? (Which is actually what I asked at the beginning of this set of
threads!)
Cheers, Philip
