If you had a superintelligence it could basically manipulate people so even if you don't connect it to the internet it could try to further its goal. There is also a chance that their goals are not the same as ours.
So we need a way to discern intent from AGI and higher and the ability to align the goals.
With that said I'm not sure if we ever get to them being self driven and having goals.
Unless you like the constraint of not being able to zoom. There's something to be said for having to move within a space physically in order to compose a shot.
I disagree on the hobbies I like trying to get to excel on the ones that stick and then suddenly. Once I prove I can do it I relaxed. For example on photography went on the competition cycle and ended with some winners and with one picture on a good museum for awhile.
After that the pressure was off and now I just do dog photo's for instagram from the dog park :)
