>something we humans can directly communicate with and recognize as "similar" to us
By those measures, the second one in my list is closest to qualifying. We communicate with the Internet (or "the one" if you prefer, to differentiate it from simply the non-human network substrate parts of it) all the time, and it's two-way communication. And the Internet is a kind of reflection of who we are, so it's "similar" to us in that way.
- pron 12y agoBut what you call the "Internet" is just human society, which isn't new and isn't even artificial. There hasn't even been a qualitative change in human progress since the internet (hardly a quantitative one).
