@brwarner Once the singularity achieved, it may or may not be a good thing for us, depending how the AIs see us.
All the aspects of our life could be controlled by the AIs (#Asimov) or we could even be extinct (for good or bad reasons, check the paperclip maximizer experiment for exemple) ..

But we could know a new form of freedom, as you say, without materialism race.

It's an interesting bet.
