Contact is not the same as communication and understanding of language, which is what the original commenter was referring to.

Yes, but we already communicate with orcas, and with the Sentinelese we can't communicate with them because we can't contact them. Communication and understanding of language are two different things. I have great communication with my dog, both ways.

> but we already communicate with orcas

Not really. And again, the person was referring to Sentinelese the language and not the people and thus was referring to orcas' languages.

Because every time in history a new group of humans was discovered we could eventually communicate, but have so far managed to talk to exactly zero fish despite constant contact?

This might be stunning news, but Orcas aren’t fish, they are mammals

Haven't talked to any non-domesticated mammals either, and even the domesticated ones are a bit of a stretch.

I've talked to a non-domesticated animal.

The wolf didn't even look up, much less reply.

Joking aside, between this and Neuralink, how close are we to cybernetic uplifting?
