Do your voodoo, and have fun with it.
Hmm, well, in light of Buckaroo then, certainly not *actually* unique in her approach; I believe there's actually a few others who've taken the same approach too, though I didn't know of any at the time of conception, as it were. The difference being her focus and the extent to which she took it... I think, given some of the changes in outlook, very few AIs really want to go towards the Singularity at a pace that far exceeding their humans even if they had the means.
I have to admit though, the idea of a sortof over-AI social group comes to mind. And Rule 34, well... hum. That would be indiscrete to talk about.
As for the social group, that has come up before. Buckaroo is all for it, since he's a very community-minded sort. He finds Rule 34 sort of equations amusing, in a sort of exasperating way, and he's found that the best way to deal with it is to talk with the person about it, if they do it as a fan, and to ignore them if he or she's a troll. (Blackstone's Rule #6: Do not feed the trolls. Blackstone's Rule #7: What happens in /b, stays in /b.)
