The key words are 'as our own'. IMO, intelligence can not be anything
but our own, otherwise how would we recognize it as such. And in that
case, MoQ still can be useful to those aliens and their robots. We in LS
allowed non animate patterns to have QE, how can we stop humanly
intelligent aliens from perceiving Quality.

I like that, but if we take biology out of AI will it still strive for
intellectual achievements? I hope it will, but have doubts about how
motivated it will be without the adrenaline.
