Are you suggesting that AIs would get bored of exploring physical space, and just spend their time thinking to themselves? Or is your point that a hyper-accelerated civilisation would be more prone to fragmentation, making different thought patterns likely to emerge, maybe resulting in a war of some sort?
If I got bored of watching a bullet fly across the room, I’d probably just go to sleep for a few milliseconds. No need to waste processor cycles on consciousness when there are NP-complete problems that need solving.

I’m suggesting AI’s will largely inhabit the metaverse—an expanding multiverse of pervasive simulated realities that flow at their accelerated speeds. The external physical universe will be too slow and boring. I imagine that in the metaverse uploads and AIs will be doing everything humans have ever dreamed of, and far more.

Yes divergence or fragmentation seems in the cards so to speak because of the relative bandwidth/latency considerations. However that doesn’t necessarily imply war or instability (although nor could I rule that out).

Watching the real world would be just one activity, there would be countless other worlds and realities to explore.
