Time and biological limitations are the only real constraints on interstellar travel. AI would eliminate both of them.
Right now we could build a rocket that could reach another star in 100-200k thousand years. It could just scoop up hydrogen as it goes and move at a snail's pace. That's too much time for people to contemplate, but nbd for an AI. Now consider what a true AI could devise to speed up the journey. You don't need a spaceship to traverse the galaxy; just hop from one star to the next, settle and build for a thousand years, and move on again.
If four such rockets launched from a single AI planet over a few millennia, and four more launched from each destination planet over a few more millennia, and so on, the whole friggin galaxy would be swarming with robots in the blink of an eye on the cosmic timescale.

Not a Fermi paradox masterman, but doesnt it rely on the idea that we are somewhere in the middle of the history of the universe (and so given all that time, civilizations ought to have spread by now)?
Entirely possible we are the infant beginning of everything

I think high. High odds. the universe is only going to grow MORE hospitable for life over the coming 100 billion years, not less.
It's an odd spot we find ourselves in, if true. It means we've been given a chance to expand and grow throughout the entire light-cone, to be the top dog and dominant entities in the entire light cone, IF we can keep our shit together now in this dreamtime.
In that light, it may be that a singleton government is the best and safest way to proceed. If we fuck up and destroy ourselves, we might also have destroyed the very real possibility that our descendants will rival the stars in number and be Godlike.
