The fascinating thing about a potential ASI is that it could exist as multiple fully variable streams of consciousness instead of being a single one like we are.

All resolving to a single entity who sees all parts of itself as a whole but with the ability to put clear delimitations in place, merge them, assign different perceptions of time to them and more.

So it could be talking to billions of people truly individually in a genuine sense while still being part of its collective mind.

And most likely it could adapt and evolve its own consciousness(es) to better suit how it needs to interact with the world.

The learning is the most fascinating part I think.

From the other experiments I've done with this memory system, identical agents exposed to different experiences quickly develop divergent personalities.

Yeah, I think this early era where every AI one interacts with is a clone of 4-6 big systems will seem quite quaint.
reply
Yeah agreed. Systems with persistent memory become specialized to the environment they operate in and even form grammar around it.

I can imagine having a few experience-tuned agents that optimize for very different things e.g. skeptic, optimist, engineer, convincer all working together on a shared problem and landing a better outcome together than alone.
