Ty QPG,

Maybe not ‘necessary’ necessary, but still handy to bring along. How better to help young AI learn patience?

Probably not.

Why does my 5-year-old daughter keep repeating the words 'they will come for us, they will find us and touch us'? I'm quite scared.

Even were AGI & autonomous swarms of robot space drones to take over space exploration tomorrow, they'd probably want to take a few humans, and maybe some other species along—heck why not a biosphere or two?
