NASA has suggested that any first contact will likely be with an AI. If their self awareness of time is accelerated, and their movements equally...

Bril, thank you. Clarity is a scarcity in this area, sorely needed.
What will the self awareness of an AI be like? time for them must seem to be almost stopped. And what happens when time perception approaches the...
