I also think this is a likely future but.......
Unfortunately, it contradicts the idea of zipping around the galaxy,
colonizing other worlds. Once uploaded minds are processing millions
of times faster than humans, the universe becomes frozen by time
dilation. Travel in space takes a subjective eternity. Exploring
millions of virtual worlds in computronium will be preferable.
Advanced aliens will go quiet and stay local.
