&gt; We occupy some very valuable real estate and if the singularity is indifferent to us we won&#x27;t last long.<p>At the same time, there is not much reason why we would need to occupy the same real estate. After all, we land animals like oxygen, liquid water, and modest temperatures. The common computer would probably prefer CO2, dryness, and cold temperatures. A computer would probably be much better off on Mars or another distant planet, granted it had enough sunlight or other sources of energy.<p>To make an analogy, do we humans want to destroy all the Ocean&#x27;s fish and other sea life because we could in theory live in the same region, or would we rather live on the land while they occupy the water? Sometimes creatures with different ideal living environments can exist harmoniously.
