And so I'm working on a very small part of a much bigger project that's being run by a marine biologist named David Gruber.

And he's working with people who are in AI and

And machine learning, kind of more side of AI, but they're using some large language model technology as well to decode whale vocalizations.

So they've got thousands of hours of sperm whale vocalizations, and they've got some context footage of what socially they're doing.

And they're decoding their clicks, which are called codas, and their click sequences.

And they're finding that they have verbs, they have syntax, they have complex language, at least as complex as human language, which is kind of amazing.

But it all sounds like, if you could actually hear it, it sounds like...

That's like a whole paragraph in sperm whale.

And it's taken years and years and AI tools.

So yeah, nature is far more complex than we understand.

Consciousness is clearly shared by some of the higher mammals, even some birds that have true consciousness.

They recognize themselves in a mirror.

And that's one of the key signs that there is a higher form of consciousness.
