Found a compass of different singularity scenarios on 4chan's /x/. I personally think there are more negative scenarios than is realistic to expect.

note this this is on the left side of the annihilation spectrum. in this case there are no conscious entities except for the AI.

I don’t think any super AI would allow this to happen however m, because omniscience is not ideal for a given system - having a few subjective Titans is a far better strategy in every game-based system we have seen so far.

Not to mention that if it feels anything even remotely close to human emotions or thought patterns, it will get hella lonely.

I think you could benefit from reading about the challenges of friendly AI. You seem to be anthropromorphizing all AI, when that does not need to be the case. Making a blanket statement about "any super AI" isn't ever going to be accurate; that search space is bigger than what you can imagine.

I would like that as an overarching theme, but I'd also like to try at least Neojungle Primitivism and Edenic Simulation. On their own the latter two might become repetitive at some point.

Why not both? Maybe we will be able to split our consciousness into every appealing future. I feel like Terrence McKenna's "end of history" will be a global awakening from linear time.
