Obviously talking about probes/tech, not "biologicals".

human brain has 100T synaptic connections. We already have 2 trillion parameter AI models. Parameter count grows more 3x per year. It means that in 4 years we'll have 100T model. My point here is that by the time we have probes to send even to the closest star, the biological brain would be the inferior option, and most probably we'd even be able to upload, just as fun small companions-observers, a bunch of people brains into what by the time would be a superintelligent 100000T+ parameter AI brain of the probe.

Yeah I never really believed in biological aliens here. But some kind of alien AI thing/tech...quite probable after all this time. Still not sure as there's still a lot of things that can stop it, but it's possible some kind of synthetic thing could replace biology, eventually, everywhere where there's intelligent life.
