Don't the super-intelligent A.I described in the Replication Initiative paradoxically nullify scientific research, as they can scan civilizations worth of technological knowledge within moments, and combine/engineer new ones just as quickly ? At this point, the U.R.H would live in a rampant technological revolution, every superfast discovery made immediately obsolete by the next, not only before it can generate sizable benefits, but before it can even be implemented in the first place.
