If I'm wrong, and SIAI wants to allocate some resources to the human preserve, while letting the rest of the universe develop in interesting ways

If you want the universe to develop in interesting ways, then why not explicitly optimize it for interestingness, however you define that?

I'm not talking about what I want to do, I'm talking about what SIAI wants to do. What I want to do is incompatible with constructing a singleton and telling it to extrapolate human values and run the universe according to them; as I have explained before.
