This kind of considerations (with positively valued computations as well) could be the basis for an economy of mostly sovereign slivers of compute under control of various individuals or groups, hosted within larger superintelligences. A superintelligent host might price their compute according to the value of what a tenant computes with it, as evaluated by the host. The tenants then have a choice between choosing computations more valuable to the host, and moving to a different host. (This is about managing tenants, rather than the host seeking out more optimal computations in general, a way of setting up laws for the tenants that maintain their value to the host within bounds, in a way that doesn’t strongly interfere with their autonomy.)
