One hive-ish mind I've noticed that does seem to get some human love is the scientific community as a whole. There's a lot of deference paid towards building off the work of others, citing references. Perhaps a positive hive model could grow from that memeplex?
After a lore series of crypto inspired posts, the hive mind intro makes to mention of DAOs? Friendship with the blockchain over, ML is your new best friend indeed.
Also your hive mind could be called the Venkatesh DAO lol
The graph mind reminds me of a photo I saw in an ancient Life magazine of a hat for six people. A Dr. Seussian knit cap with 6 headholes all populated by fashion models. I can not find it now by searching though.
Love the ideas here for their novel/weirdness factor and think the choice of metaphor here is powerful: the graph. My main qualm would be the question/challenge of how a graph mind flourishes with individual minds seem so fallible and fragile as they continue to adapt to a world of complexity and abundance. Will also be on the lookout here for an investigation of anti-fragility in the graph mind. As intelligence becomes more connected, does it become more co-dependent and fragile? Another argument is related to the idea of extended or augmented intelligence and says this is a reality we're already active in and have been active in since there's been "technology" as "natural born cyborgs". All ideas/questions I look forward to reading more about.
I would happily read a sci-fi series of Borg vs AGI. I think Rameez Naam explored somewhat similar themes in the Nexus books. Buddhism inspired hive mind in contrast to AGI. I will have to dig it up..
One of the more unusual Sci-Fi hive mind situation I've heard about is one of the endings to Dues Ex: Invisible War (a 2000s era video game). In this scenario an AI merges with all of humanity but instead of assimilating everyone it just completely understands and knows everyone and communicates with them in real time. This allows it to act as a true democratic world government.
I've found some YouTube videos showing this ending. This one is some in-game dialog detailing what's going to happen:
Here is a longer review of the game in total. It spends most of it's time going over the game aspects so I've just linked to the time when he talks about that ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPwpLDvAnvo&t=1518s

Awesome! Can't wait to discover this new series. Very promising
