Actually, I don't find these conjectures desperate or crazy at all, because it's what I'd do. Moving off this biological substrate onto something more reliable, hardy, efficient, and copyable seems like a no-brainer level "Good Idea". If there's any advanced intelligent life out there at all, one of its highest priorities is going to be finding more durable substrate to live in than sloppy, unoptimized and non-designed biochemistry.
