Looking at the shape it's taken so far, do you really think you'll be included in that singularity? Or will you be just another ape roasting to death as your brain rots? If it's energy-intensive, then what matters is who controls the factors of production. They see you as a cost, not a useful friend who simped for Pascal's Basilisk.
We could have a positive singularity, or we could have a malevolent singleton. And it depends on your rationality right now.
