Possible additional advantages for a silicon intelligence (besides storage):
It can view its own neurons and edit their weights or configuration.
It can be copied, and plausibly copy itself.
Its memory/storage can be shared/copied/backed up.
It may have access to better, higher-fidelity sensors.
We evolved to perform a set of tasks suitable to a hunter-gatherer environment. It can be trained or configured to perform a set of tasks that is more optimised for today’s world.
It has access to more energy.
It can perform operations faster (Bostrom writes that biological neurons operate at 200 Hz).
It can send signals internally faster (Bostrom writes that axons carry action potentials at 120 m/s, which is 6 OOMs slower than the speed of light).
