And I suppose that when the entire Earth is replaced with an equal volume of nerds, it will turn into a roaring ocean of boiling nerds, with a few nerds in orbit?
What happens if the entire Earth is replaced with an equal volume of blueberries?... 'it will turn into a roaring ocean of boiling jam, with the geysers of released air and steam ejecting at least a few berries into orbit'

Basically the same argument applies to nerds, turnips or gerbils - the end result may be a bit more yukky. The launchability varies a lot; that likely requires some proper hydrodynamic simulations.

Anders Sandberg is a nerd's nerd. Not only is he super-smart and knowledgeable, but he is also the nicest, friendliest, and happiest guy I know. I've long said that my transhumanist goal is to be like Anders.

What would its core look like?

Likely an Ice VII-based solid mass with pulp mixed in; exactly how stratified it would be depends on the formation time. Probes sent past the planet could measure the moment of inertia to elucidate this. My bet it on a granita-like core rather than a sorbet core.
