Should we engineer a superintelligence? A single god-like technological entity that will essentially turn the entire earth into and become a giant thinking machine (hint: a Matrioshka brain) ready to engulf the rest of the universe with its intelligent processes, and continuously/recursively improving its intelligence? Will that mean the end (death) of humanity, through reassembly of all our atoms towards maximum utility function? Is it really a bad thing? Will there truly be an 'Artilect War' i.e. Cosmists vs Terrans as Hugo de Garis describes? What happens if there's two superintelligent entities with different goals? Will they eventually merge to become one, or out-compete one against the other?
Will it take on a swarm approach?
In my personal view, yes, I would like to see one finally being created. As twisted as it sounds, I think it's a morally superior imperative. I wrote about this before in a FB note, though will be the subject of another post. Instead, I'll just post more material for reference, and also something to further contemplate on.
