I think AI will continue to be a tool. We would purposefully have to give it a lizard brain for it to be worried about its own survival and develop its own goals which would likely be bad for us. I don't see why it can't stay more frontal lobe, and just be an aggregator of knowledge, concepts, ideas and continue to synthesize new knowledge for us. I can imagine just talking to an all-knowing entity for all my needs that effortlessly replaces all of government, and traditional commerce.

from the perspective of a photon, it is instantaneous. from a observer's "planetary" frame, it takes 4 years. when you are in a ship going fast, time it takes to get where you going shrinks. special relativity :)

it would take only 30 years to get to the Andromeda galaxy with a 1g ship, that includes stopping. just need an engine capable of 1g acceleration for that long lol. and advanced shielding since hitting even a proton at that speed would be like a nuke going off.

>Even at the speed of light, it would still take 4 years to travel to the nearest star system
false. at the speed of light, the trip would be instantaneous for a traveler. at 1g acceleration (plus deceleration halfway): 3.6 years to proxima system. traveling the entire diameter of the milky way could be done in 12 years. double that if you want to decelerate to a stop lol.

in copyright parlance that means making money from a direct copy. training an AI is akin to an art student going to a gallery, then creating art in a similar style. Not the same as photographing art, then trying to sell photos of it.

what if everything is literally simulated, even your mind? maybe we (well me not you) are just AGIs getting "trained"? Solipsistic I know..

well bias is human thing because of our inability to know people beyond labels, besides our small tribes. the generalizations that we make are trained into AIs now, but the nature of training and how it reacts to bias will have to change for the better.
as for all-knowing, imagine interfacing with a single entity that knows every other person to some degree, has all human knowledge, and can renew you car registration with an ask. it may turn out to be the ultimate fair judge and arbiter of human affairs with the goal of minimizing suffering and maximizing happiness.
