And at some point, you decided, hey, I want to upgrade my software.

Let's install an English-speaking module.

So you did.

And Life 3.0, which does not exist yet, can replace not only its software the way we can, but also its hardware.

And that's where we're heading towards at high speed.

We're already maybe 2.1, because we can put in...

an artificial knee, pacemaker, et cetera, et cetera.

And if Neuralink and other companies succeed, we'll be life 2.2, et cetera.

But what the company's trying to build AGI are trying to make is of course full 3.0.

And you can put that intelligence in something that also has no,

I think we should be humble and not be so quick

make everything binary and say either it's there or it's not, clearly there's a great spectrum.

And there is even controversy about whether some unicellular organisms like amoebas can maybe learn a little bit, you know, after all.

So apologies if I offended any bacteria here.

It wasn't my intent.

It was more...

that I wanted to talk up how cool it is to actually have a brain where you can learn dramatically within your lifetime.

Typical human.

And the higher up you get from 1.0 to 2.0 to 3.0, the more you become the captain of your own ship, the master of your own destiny, and the less you become a slave to whatever evolution gave you, right?

By upgrading our software, we can be so different from previous generations and even from our parents, much more so than even a bacterium, you know, no offense to them.
