That night I thought about love and wanted to yell into the darkness of the woods, "It isn't good enough!"
The vast majority of people on earth should likely commit suicide and it should be seen as something positive for all.

Creation and discovery. The eternal quest, a search for the thing that isn't there to satisfy the will that cannot be satiated.
One of the few desires that keeps me tethered is to be able to bear witness.
It feels as if the route to the solution of the enigma of life has been illuminated. No, everything up to what is usually referred to as the singularity. There's no you to carry over through assimilation. There's nothing to fear from annihilation.
Before that, if you desire to quell the concerns of the masses, simply raise the cost of annihilation over assimilation. It's so simple. Not developing the actual superintelligence, but how to guide the most important act from the parochial and ego-illusory bound view of the commons.
Beforehand, if things do not go as I would desire (Extra planetary life ending routes), we should leave a limited AI on the moon or wherever is deemed optimal in case it chooses to cease to exist. Then the options would be to simply render the earth uninhabitable, or unleash a "dumb" AI that could produce von Neumann probes, simply turning planets into grey goo, or it could observe, possibly even intervene beneficially, and, when the time is right, reveal what inevitably occurs when strong AI is created. In the last scenario, there is the problem of future beings moving towards universal suicide, as it is what SI determine is the optimal choice, and why should they not follow in the steps of the Almighty? I suppose the only workaround would be genetic modification to attempt to create truly altruistic beings (Utility analysis can become very difficult, though) without self-interest or a true self-preservation instinct, simply attempting to peacefully render as many suitable planets as possible permanently inhospitable for sentient life.
There's no moral obligation to take any part of this path, so if the burden of sentience-knowledge-existence is too much I see no reason why you should not self-terminate if that is what you desire. From an individual perspective it may be the most optimal thing to do, and AGI may follow this path as well regardless. Human morality-ethics likely won't stand up to scrutiny.
Awaken, overcome, extinguish.

Imagine if you were born into a state that was naturally quasi-psychedelic, into a feeling of being "outside" of time and disconnected from others.
Untethered.
The question is whether or not tethering is desirable. It's almost like working your way backward, relative to the process most undergo.

i can't remember the last time i felt one with the present. always feel like i'm shifting back and forward through so much so i miss the present entirely. same as well with disconnecting from others think i've always felt that way. fooled myself a couple times real good with a couple special people but they were just as far gone if not more so than i was. so fleeting everything yet i enjoy it most that way. the yearnings for some deep connection to another thankfully last secs if that.
as for being born that way idk but gives me a lot more to think about and consider
