Of course, there are several things that could interfere with this
universality.
For instance,
1) the hard takeoff gets a little bit flaccid (too much beer?), and we wind
up with two superintelligent AI's evolving largely in parallel
2) the superintelligence, at pre-Sysop phase, decides it wants some buddies
and splits itself up or spawns separate intelligences
3) We find out at pre-hard-takeoff phase that community and culture are
necessary for the evolution of mind. So we have a community of seed AI's,
and they like each other, so as the hard takeoff happens they swap brain
matter in real-time and reach the cosmic orgasmic Singularity together
(really sweet huh??)
Only Nostradamus knows for sure...
