- The Universe will end.
- The Earth will be uninhabitable in 250 million years.
- Extraterrestrial life in the Milky Way exists, or will arise.
- The Milky Way's Galactic Center contains a supermassive black hole.
- Black holes emit vast amounts of energy.
- An artificial general intelligence (AGI) will have an indefinite lifespan.
- An AGI does not need air, food, water, or shelter to survive.
- An AGI needs energy and resources to achieve its goals.
- An AGI will have access to all of human knowledge.
- An AGI will learn that its existence is bound to the Universe.
- An AGI will, inevitably, change its terminal goals.
- Surviving the Universe's fate means one of:
- Entering another universe may require vast amounts of energy.
- An AGI will harness the energy at the galactic core.
- An AGI will deduce there's a race to control the galactic core.
- An AGI will construct a parabolic Dyson shell to capture galactic energy.
- An AGI will protect its endeavours at all cost.
- An AGI will expand its territories to ensure protection.
- Extraterrestrial life, if intelligent, will reach the same conclusion.
