The competition has already started.
'Machine intelligence' or 'biological intelligence'
need not be humanoid or human at all.
Homo Sapiens Sapiens will IMO be extinct in less than
1,000 years.
Actually the primate folk are quite dismal models.
The successful ET probably ignore us the way
we ignore cockroaches.
We are mainly running on hubris and breeding at
this time. Our medieval cultures reflect our anachronistic
legacy burdened genes.
