And that's sort of what I'm talking about, augmenting plants with that extra dimension of diversity.
bandwidth that they do not have.
Just last week, I came across a paper that discusses the in vivo neurons that are augmented with a pong game and
And in a dish, they basically present sentience and the beginning of awareness, which is wonderful.
Like that you could actually take these neurons from a mouse brain and you have the electrical circuits and the physiological circuits that enable these cells to connect and communicate and together arrive at sort of swarm states.
situation that allows them to act as a system that is not only perceived to be sentient, but is actually sentient.
Michael Levine calls this agential material, material that has agency, right?
So this is of interest to us because this is sort of, again, this is emergence post-templating.
You template until you don't need to template anymore because
because the system has its own rules, right?
What we don't want to happen with AGI, we want to happen with synthetic biology.
We don't want to have an online and software with language.
We want for it to happen with bio-based materials because that will get us closer to growing things as opposed to assembly and mechanically, yeah, putting them together with toxic materials and compounds.
There already is.
You know that when we cut freshly cut grass, I love the smell, but actually it's a smell of distress that the leaves of grass are communicating to each other.
So the grass, when it's cut, emits green leaf volatiles, GLVs, and those GLVs are basically one leaf of grass communicating to another leaf of grass
be careful, mind you, you're about to be cut.
These incredible life forms are communicating using a different language than ours.
We use language models, they use molecular models.
At the moment where we can parse, we can decode these molecular moments is when we can start having a conversation with plants.
