One of the interesting 2nd thoughts this provoked in me is the idea: what
would it be like if you could wake each day with a new body - a totally
different body? In principle a superAGI could perhaps adopt many changing
different physical forms - like the villain in Terminator 2 (although not
presumably using the same chemistry).
(...)
I rather suspect that a superAGI would be able to exist in millions of
"bodies" *simultaneously*. And I put "body" between quote marks because they
could be anything able to move through and manipulate the environment. They
could be things from simple mobile surveillance robots with no
anthropomorfization at all (for instance, robot planes) to human-like
like telepresence
dummies <http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/07/71426>. Well,
if they are popular at the time of the emergence of a super-AGI. By the way,
if sophisticated neural interfaces are also popular at the time, another
scifi-horror movie possibility is that some humans maybe taken over to serve
as "bodies" for this entity. (Although I suspect that plenty of humans
would voluntarily want to be "assimilated".)
