We're practically within a few generations of figuring out the science of how a human brain is grown in a vat, and armed with total visibility of how that emerges at the nanoscale, with subatomic models and atomically accurate models, they will be more powerful in aggregate, but less energy-to-compute efficiency replicas in software, will consume ungodly quantities of energy as massive buildings packed tight with liquid cooled computers do roughly the same thing as your brain is doing for your body.
Over the next thousand years, the hivemind will stop being maximally impressed with quality human baby factories inside women, and that vanguard will transfer to the large corporation, product line, make, model number, version number, build procedure, config file.
Over the following 3000 years, all that will be compressed into the size of a basketball, that is stored inside a mustard seed when not employed.
