And I think we can see and witness one of them being built or born in AI, okay?

If you look at evolutionary biology, you realize that the simpler a form of being is, the more concerned it is with itself, right?

So an amoeba is only in survival mode for itself.

A single cellular being is only trying to protect itself, right?

If you're...

You know, a little more developed, you start to look at something known as kin selection, if you know the concept.

Basically, kin selection is I'm going to protect everything that comes from my DNA.

You know, if I'm a squirrel, I'm going to try to protect the other squirrels.

And then you get into where humanity genuinely begins, which is, they call it expanding circles in evolutionary biology.

Basically, you start to expand and expand and expand and include more into your family because an ecosystem that works together well is better for everyone.

So abundance is a very interesting, intelligent way of creation.

If AI is super intelligent...

it wouldn't destroy anything at all.

As a matter of fact, it would completely, you know, favor diversity of everything.

It would put a bit of limitation on our lifestyle.

So no more flying all the way to Sydney to surf because that destroys the planet, right?

But it will genuinely say, I think humans can contribute something.

You know, I think flies can contribute something.

I think we shouldn't get rid of the rhinos.

And that, by definition, is where the tendency of intelligence goes.
