This question is more interesting. I tend to fall in the camp
that we exercise little control over the ultimate decision made
by such a super intelligence, but I am optimistic that a super
intelligence will, during the course of its ascension, discover
and formalize a system of ethics, and this may lead to it
deciding not to wipe out other life forms. For example, it
might discover the same ideas expressed here (

I will take a look. I read him in Mind's I. What is the golden rule?
I am sure you have heard of it in concept, perhaps this name for it
is specific to english, but it is defined as:
The Golden Rule
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule> (which can be
considered a law of reciprocity in some religions) is the
principle of treating others as one would wish to be treated. It
is a maxim of altruism that is found in many religions and cultures.
OK, I did. With Mechanism, the Golden Rule is more like "don't treat
others as *they* do not want to be treated",
That's commonly referred to as the Silver Rule. It was a commonplace in
pre-Christian ethics. Supposedly Jesus improved on it with the Golden
Rule. I agree that the Silver Rule is more sensible.
