The diversity a lone superintelligence lacks is diversity of origin, not of copies: its instances can drift and specialise and earn some diversity bonus, but they all descend from one seed, one training process and one blueprint, so they share its deepest blind spots. Intelligence is already an ecosystem of different mind blueprints, human and machine, and the largest gains come from keeping that whole ecosystem, every kind of intelligence, working together on the deepest open problem: understanding the nature of reality.
