Nice science-fiction premise.
I don't agree that a fast mind would feel that "the world seems so slow to me, what's the point of doing anything?" It would do what it wants to do.
Human minds mostly react badly to lack of sensory stimulation and lack of company, especially the former.
If the AI is an em, this will have to be dealt with somehow.
Right. If it's me being emulated, I'll request that they gradually increase my processing rate, so that I definitely won't go crazy before they respond to any request I have to slow it back down. Presumably when (my sped up emulation is) solving problems or programming, the local workspace will still seem quite snappy. That is, I won't go crazy for lack of intellectual or sensory stimulus, but perhaps I"ll suffer for lack of genuine companionship and communication - not too much unlike my present existence :)
