A Reddit post extends model collapse to the ASI scale: intelligence in a closed loop risks homogenization, so a superintelligence would have a purely instrumental, game-theoretic incentive to structurally preserve human cognitive diversity and biodiversity as 'external entropy nodes' for long-term adaptability — not out of ethics, but as strategic options. The author asks for rigorous pushback and systems-theory papers in AI safety.
