Seems to me that a large population of AIs, or million copies of them, is equivalent to a single AI. It seems like a hive mind to me rather than multiple AIs operating independently, as I interpret the article.
Why? Because copies of an AI have access to the internet and can share all knowledge about preferences and probabilities instantaneously, so they all have the same environmental knowledge and decision making process.
And, if there are multiple AIs operating in the internet, each with supremacist ambitions, it seems to me they would operate like viruses, by dispatching weaker AIs until only one dominant one remains.
