Between this and the study of whale language, are we on the precipice of actually being able to have a rudimentary conversation with another intelligent species on the planet?

  This is legitimately very cool and I’m just being a cynical dick because had we gotten to this point without destroying the planet we could learn so many cool things from how animals experience the world. Not like in the form of wisdom or lessons but just behaviors and perspectives based on our understanding of their language
