In a previous post (and the attendant paper and talks) I mentioned how easy it is to build a Dyson sphere around the sun (and start universal colonisation), given decent automation.

Why would a superintelligence build a Dyson sphere? Aren't there smarter ways of converting matter into entropy than letting it stew in its own juices at the bottom of a gravity well?
