Agreed, if anything, the existence of higher intelligences creates
entropy faster than anything else. 

This may sound misplaced, but can anyone CONCISELY and PRECISELY
explain the strong and weak anthropic principles. What are the implications,
if any, for intelligent machines? Is this more related to the 
idea of life, or intelligence? ie. Does the anthropic principle say 
something exclusively about life, or exclusively about intelligence, or
both?
