Then all humans should fight it's development as your version
would mean their doom. There is plenty of matter in this solar
system without eating earth. Why would such voracious
consumption and growth as to need to eat earth also be a given?
I think that "any Singularity worth anything" is more than just
a super mind with no consideration of other sentients.
