A group of scientists said they had a first-of-its-kind conversation with a humpback whale that could lead to humans communicating with aliens one day.
The bit about the whales having “culture” that’s potentially >30 million years old, compared to the fact that humans have only been around for ~150k years blew my mind.
The foresight the team has had to try not to fuck up this culture with a load of garbled AI nonsense is pretty amazing too.
Thanks for posting this. That was a very interesting watch!
