We may be experiencing a massive extinction event and losing tons of biological species but on the plus side, we’re experiencing a Cambrian explosion of digital species 😎

Exactly. There is a theory that cambrian explosion was caused by the emergence of "the eye", which caused arms race between predators and preys and specialization (species!). Digital species are now in a similar phase - they are learning how "to see" different things (in data).

With humans as the unintentional engine converting one population to the other. Sort of a naive Borg Collective that assimilates species with super low fidelity.
