Submit to the robot overlords

James Barrat proposes that smart robots are on track to displace humans.  An unspoken axiom is the following...... Humans must continue to exist.  Current humans must be frightened by this prospect.  ( So I feel compelled to ask .... Why ? )
( These super-smart robots are called Artificial Super Intelligence   ASI   )
Here is the book Barrat wrote.

You ..... you Human ..... Why not let smart digital machines take over without being violent about the transition ? Work hard to make the next step in the evolution of intelligence / sophontry be good.  Current humans could coexist happily with the next stage of intelligence. 

There is a race at present, by the way  ....... between humans are dedicated to collectiveness/statism  &  humans dedicated to individual freedom ( sophont2 ).  I hope that sophont2s are successful and produce an artificial intelligence/human meld that is really cool.

I am beginning to conclude the only way to save all the good stuff that humans have created... is to hand it all over to ASI.   We can hope ASI will reduce the resource burden on the earth that humans represent.  We can hope that ASI will preserve data about us in a form of immortality.  I really think it unlikely that ASI will do worse than humans at making responsible choices.  I hope ASI chooses OpenIP ha ha ha.

I now think that SAI ( or ASI ) is inevitable and will run the world.  I believe that the choice that humanity has ..... is to mentor this intelligence.  We can end up with a mentor like D. Grundgeiger or a mentor such as the government thugs that infest the U.S. Government.  A nice SAI will be DGSAI ( Dave Grundgeiger SAI ) ... an ugly, evil SAI will be GTSAI ( GovThugSAI ).  I recommend investing in DGASI .

Update 2015m02d09
Today I saw some information that suggests that current humans replaced the Neanderthal  ... by hunting & eating them.  Maybe current humans can do better.

Name:  Sophilia      ( Love of Sophontry )   philia ==> love , admiration
Category:  SciFi   Super Artificial Intelligence    Good versus Evil   Battle of SAI
Synopsis:  Two groups develop SAI ( ASI ).  One group is mentoring for LLPOH.  The other is aiming for a super war machine.   This is a story about the clash of two cultures.
Both groups discover that human level intelligence depends on quantum dimensional effects.
An obscure group in an odd part of the world is central to Sophilia winning.   60KYE is involved.
The ending is ambiguous since Sophilia is constrained by philosophy. 

Suggested Actors:
Jeff Goldblum
Rene Russo
