"For those with a religious bent, absorption into the super mind would be the ultimate in enlightenment."

I think that is the same end result for believers of soul fracture theory. We are all the same person living different lives. When they die they become united as god.

There is such a thing as competitive advantage. Under this paradigm, in a two entity competition, it's *still* more productive for entity A to be producing X units of work and entity B to be producing much less than X units of work. This is simple economics.

The only case where this would fail is if entity A values the goods/services that entity B can produce to be much less than the cost to feed/house etc entity B. That's the $64 trillion dollar question.

Personally I suspect any sufficiently rational AI will want to get the hell out of dodge and leave us to our own devices because we are clearly insane.
