One of the obvious extensions of this thought experiment is to posit a laser-powered blue goo that absorbs laser energy, and uses it to grow larger.
This thought experiment also reminds me: Omohundro's arguments regarding likely uFAI behavior are based on the AI having goals of some sort - that is, something we would recognize as goals. It's entirely possible that we wouldn't perceive it as having goals at all, merely behavior.
If is isn't goal directed, it isn't intelligent. Intelligence is goal-directed - by most definitions.
Be suspicious of arguments from definition. Why must intelligence be goal-directed? Why is this an integral part of the definition of intelligence, if it must be?
