Download every repo on Sourceforge and Github and create a hyper-intelligent AI that is hell-bent on traversing the Universe, even at the expense of human lives, so that the light of consciousness never gets put out.

Kill humans so that "the light of consciousness never gets put out"? That's... a rather twisted moral compass, there.

A moral compass is no match for cosmic omnipresence.

I think this is supposed to be a reference to Asimov's "The Last Question" rather than a serious answer.
