> a giant brain that is continually self-improving

...nope, does not qualify. If it cannot manage to replicate itself completely (as in: create another separate 'internet' capable of further replication) it is as good as a single human living on Mars. It's a short ride, one small mistake and goodbye Mr. Superintelligence. (I'm not claiming humans will be able to survive that though.)
