Assuming humans don't go extinct, what will the future of consciousness in this universe look like? And what do you reckon the higher intelligence entities currently in existence are up to right now?

>You think that implants can be inherited by the child or something?
Technically you could genetically engineer via parahuman XNA modifications for the clade to develop organs that functions as implants and you could engineer a child to grow within or aside a cybernetic system. That wasn`t the point though, cultural evolution has outpaced natural evolution.
Like the gut flora parents could give their offsprings their nanosymbionts, but I doubt that as I expect exowomb raising to be more common in the next centuries and you could just inject nanosymbionts in the early stages of the embryo development.

who cares, were not talking about natural evolution, were talking about humanity having the power to edit genes, be inmortal, make ai, transfer it conciousness to robot, make ais, animals and enchanced humans orders of magnitude smarter than anything we know and combine them in any way, both to experience life in the physical as well as in virtual world, and all of that is assuming no new physics that we missed.

Most likely humans won't exist anymore, and our replacement will be a virtual society powered by AIs to do the work for us. Human consciousness would still exist but it would probably change a bit considering the astronomical amount of freedom they would have over their own mind. What that would all look like in physical reality however, is probably impossible to imagine. When you are talking the most efficient method of powering a virtual society, you're probably going to have stuff that you couldn't hope to imagine because you're taking an extreme case for a super complex system.
