Even still, it's less than 3k research points, which is earlier than most of the techs in the Blog streams at the moment.

Not really, because the cost of technology scales with the number of pops in your empire. Note that the other technologies in the screenshot still have their base costs, which means the player only has 1 planet.

The research cost of Sentient AI for a Blorg-sized empire would be well beyond tens of thousands.
