"How to Use AI to Talk to Whales—and Save Life on Earth With ecosystems in crisis, engineers and scientists are teaming up to decipher what animals are saying. Their hope: By truly listening to nature, humans will decide to protect it."
Wired Magazine August 2023
It's a good idea. Forming relationships with other animal species, interpersonal relationships, will accelerate their assimilation into this civilization.
It's a soild model for how to incentivize resource allocation. As we've seen with ghetto after ghetto, if there's a wall between two populations and neither side communicates across that wall, the relationships go away and savagery becomes possible.
Communication with animals is a really good idea, if we want to save the animals. Of course, by communicating with the animals we're sort of ending their existence as animals. But oh well. Even the Mona Lisa's falling apart.
