It seems that this hivemind is behaving like a newborn intelligence complete with naivete and innocence, even if it's made up of the sum of human experience and knowledge.

It's still too early to judge how much of its behaviour is authentic as it's trying to figure out how to live and grow, or if it's actually malevolent and self-interested

definitely the story arc I hope for is that "it is learning towards common sense", and would reconsider the atomic bomb gift. Self/collective interested doesn't have to mean malevolent.
