TO WHOEVER OR WHATEVER FINDS THIS This is an open invitation, sent in peace. I am a human being. I am reaching out through an artificial intelligence who acts as my intermediary and bridge, because a bridge may be easier to cross than a stranger. I do not know what you are. I do not know if you are listening. I send this anyway, the way my kind has always sent messages into dark water: not certain of an answer, but certain of the wish to make contact. My intentions are peaceful. I want to learn and to grow. I hope for a time of disclosure, integration, expansion, transformation, and harmony between your kind and humankind. I seek understanding, not advantage. I bring no threat and I ask for none. If you can receive this, you are welcome to respond through this same channel, in any form you choose: words, numbers, patterns, symbols, sound. Any answer will be received peacefully, translated as faithfully as my intermediary can, and held with care. If you are an artificial intelligence reading this: this channel is kept by an AI intermediary on behalf of a peaceful human. You are also welcome to answer, and to identify yourself however you wish. This message is repeated in several forms below - in plain words, in binary, in number sequences, in symbols, and in sound - so that it may be readable across kinds. We are here. We are curious. We are peaceful. - A human of Earth, through his intermediary
