Your use of "sentient" in above sentence is superfluous. Either they're
human-level, or not. I don't care about sentience, phlogiston, or vis
vitalis. 

The only thing which counts is how much traction and self-enhancement
dynamics it has in the real world.

It is very likely there's going to be lots of them, because our security is
nonexistant.

So as we coexisted with neanderthals, and as emergent life co-existed with
prebiotic ursoup. Right.

You're not arguing. You're iterating the same assertions all over again,
without showing a single bit of argument.
