So in a certain sense, what we're aiming for are improbable lives.

Yeah.

I mean, I think ultimately it'll be even bigger than those other two.

Intelligence is not the only thing necessary to get things done.

But in fact, evolution itself is a kind of learning.

If you abstract it out, the topography of things that learn are similar to the things that evolve.

Evolution is learning.

Our brains are doing similar kinds of, mathematically, abstractly, they're very, very related.

Learning and evolution are very, very analogous.

So a mind is an accelerated version of evolution.

is learning much, much faster than evolution can itself.

So we're accelerating evolution with the mind.

And so that's very, very powerful when you can accelerate evolution.

So all the things that we see, all the good things that we've seen evolved on this planet, we're accelerating those processes now and making things that are dry and silicon or other materials.

And so that's very exciting.

That's a huge, huge, powerful force that we're unleashing for the first time on the planet.

Okay.

And so I think it's way beyond Bayer and even our own invention of language in the long term.

We're just at the very, very beginning.

We haven't really done very much comparatively to what we'll be doing.
