Two things.

1. Listen to the Sam Harris interview with Thomas Metzinger, podcast episode 96.  It's worth the time overall, but near the end Thomas discusses why ending life and suffering is a reasonable position.
2. Good article on why we may not have found intelligent life in the universe, including how organic life may only be a relatively brief stage of evolution which ends up with machine AI.  https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/most-aliens-may-be-artificial-intelligence-not-life-as-we-know-it/
