I said it has a lot of implications - I didn't say what they were! The implications are that it's easy to cross galactic distances, so this makes the Fermi paradox much worse (or may imply AI is harder to reach).
Sentence rephrased to:
Ah, that makes much more sense. Thanks for clarifying.
I suggest reordering that as “It seems to be surprisingly easy, given sufficient automation or AI (which has a lot of implications for the Fermi Paradox)”, which makes your point a bit clearer.
No, that's how I had it initially, and that's what caused confusion! The ease of expansion is relevant to Fermi P., not the AI or automation.
Oh, right, sorry, I misread Joshua’s comment. I thought he didn't notice that the ease of expansion is relevant given AI.
