Could dark matter actually be highly evolved life?

I was watching a video about why we haven't encountered aliens yet and the video speculated that all intelligent organic matter life in the universe eventually transitions to inorganic matter life like artificial super intelligence.

But then I wondered, well what if the next step after ASI type inorganic matter life is to become dark matter life, then that might explain why a huge majority of the known universe is composed of dark matter; maybe it might be highly evolved life and where all the life in the universe exists.

Best dynamic mic for voice acting?

I've currently been doing my VA work with a cheap fifine AM8 mic. I figured I should probably upgrade to something more professional? I live in an apartment with lots of outside noise so I need to use a dynamic mic.

Anyone use a dynamic mic? Got any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

[sad trope] The movie ends with the main character no longer able to talk to their animal companion.

Kiki's Delivery Service: >!The movie ends with Kiki no longer able to talk to her pet cat Jiji because Kiki has grown up. Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki explained that Jiji represents Kiki's childhood "other self." Once Kiki overcomes her burnout and learns to navigate the world independently, she no longer needs that imaginary alter ego.!<

Hoppers:>! The movie ends with Mabel no longer able to talk to her beaver friend King George because she no longer has access to the Hopper Robot technology. George is still able to communicate with Emojis on the cell phone though.!<

>!I find this trope very sad because it's basically the equivalent of the death of a friend, but almost worse because they are still there yet they can't communicate. The ending of Hopper feels even more sad with George only able to spam heart emojis to Mabel!<
