I completely disagree. For multiple reasons (robustness, security, diversity of needs, competition, speed of response, independent development trajectories, the concept of self, localization of data capture), I think that a machine mind colony will look more like the Matrix's world than a hive.
Diversity and decentralization create superior systems. I'm fairly sure it's a fundamental property of ecology, whether that's organic or silicon.
