Everywhere was not an infinitesimal point, if the present Universe is infinite (as it seems to be). In this case, the Universe was already infinite at the very first meaningful instant of time.
Also, the dark ages explanation is mistaken.
From time 0 to 370,000 years: there were a bunch of short lived photons, but the Universe wasn't transparent to light. After a while, recombination and decoupling ended and this source of light ceased to exist, making the Universe dark again.
Only after ~200 million years the first generation of stars appeared, which we cannot hope to see with a telescope. The first proto-galaxies (too faint) and galaxies took even longer, hence this billion years of darkness.
According to the main view, dark matter floats throughout the galaxy (and outside) but is much more concentrated near the center. A tiny amount is probably crossing your body right now, but there's no way to feel it except for the minuscule gravitational force coming out of nowhere.
We are the center of the Universe. Of our observable universe, at least, by definition. And the total Universe might be much bigger, potentially infinite [or even smaller than the visible universe!]. Even if finite, the Universe would have no center. It's different from a finite amount of matter forming a sphere within an infinite grid, but much like a spherical surface that has no center (the sphere does, the surface does not).

Yes, an alien in a very far away galaxy would see a similar picture. If they are within a few billion light-years, they would see a younger red-shifted Milky Way.
SSR always means outputting the first html as seen from the user when the app is fully loaded and ready to be interacted with. A SPA usually starts with a minimal, blank html file and a huge JS file that mounts the DOM structure and then the user can see something. SSR does the exact same thing, but on the server. From the user perspective, SSR seems faster. From a SEO perspective, SSR is better because there's some initial content on the page.
It's like how when you're baking a cake, the easiest way to do it is to buy a cake mix and follow the directions on the back. Yes, maybe you can make a tastier cake by changing the directions or using better ingredients, but you also introduced the possibility of the cake exploding. Particularly with anonymity, the trick is to do what everyone else who wants to be anonymous is doing.
but the quote was already wrapped in the parent posters idea, since they were writing Strong AI with regular expressions!
If you have two problems when using regular expressions and you have X problems with Strong AI how will the combination of your problems be calculated?

I wasn't looking at the original quote when I wrote what I wrote above, FWIW. And I wanted to avoid the instinctive inclination to write "he", so I went with "ze" because using "they" for singular case always feels forced and awkward to me. But yes, that would have been fine as well. It was a choice I made at a moment in time, not something that I spent a lot of time analyzing and debating. :-)
