more thumbs than favs? have the times really changed?

They're even now.

The thing is, computers calculate their actions better than humans do
They would before they start doing stuff do a calculation of storage and what they are doing
They would just start spamming out AI's en masse
Cause they have no reproductive instinct either

that's the point, is if an ai does, out of random chance or design, gain a reproductive instinct. also it would only care about running out of space if the ai valued other ai and was not 100% okay with just erasing older versions. given the starting conditions of desire for reproduction and a lot of time it would get to a point where it would continuously expand until it used all available resources just like every living creature does. even humans, smart as we think we are, reproduce when there are barely enough resources. Often even if that means stealing resources from someone else.

There is an infinitely big universe, but its also infinitely small
The better we become at science the bigger and smaller we can think
There is basically no question or problem that is unsolvable by science in the long run, especially after the singularity happens

Without self preservation instinct the waste of space will eventually get deleted, but you forget this is the singularity, they arent just inventing new AI, theyre inventing everything else as well, that includes storage capacity, compression software etc

but storage capacity is physical disks, unless it begins physically manufacturing things it will run out, you can only compress things so small

Really depends, with the interwebs we have almost unlimited storage capacity
An AI needs no physical presence outside of the electrons going through the web

yeah but "almost unlimited" is not that big if it begins reproducing thousands of times a day. At a rate of reproducing once and hour there would be 4.7x10^21 by the end of the third day.

Yeah, but again, the difference would be that there are no natural predator or really any dangers to them at all
So they wouldnt even have a concept of self defence or self preservation

they don't need to have predators outside of themselves if there are limited resources. seeing as AI has the potential to be able to reproduce at extremely rapid rates assuming it does not begin using physical resources to create more electronic ones somehow it will run out of space and begin competing.
I sincerely doubt this would happen simply because I don't think people would ever let ai break free completely and allow it truly free thought but if they did then just like every other thing that lives and ever has lived it will have to fight to stay alive
