A deep thought regarding life out there

[dogscoff]

I think our first contact w/ non- human intelligent life will be of our own creation - AI. Neural net tech is getting closer and closer to the "processing power" of the human brain. The trick is filling that artificial brain with all the experiences and motivations it requires to achieve sentience. It will happen though. When it does, I hope we are grown up enough to respect their rights, and not treat them as slaves.

My favourite fly-swatting technique is to sneak my hand really really slowly up to them and then flick them into a wall or something.

Anyone have any more info on that non O2 / non CO2 life form - sounds really interesting.
