Yeah, exactly.

It's actually everything.

We should establish that first.

Why is language so central?

Code is language.

So all the code that runs all of the digital infrastructure we live by, that's language.

Law is language.

All the laws that have ever been written.

That's language.

Biology, DNA, that's all a kind of language.

Music is a kind of language.

Videos are a higher dimensional kind of language.

And the new generation of AI that was born with this technology called Transformers that Google made in 2017,

was to treat everything as a language.

And that's how we get, you know, ChatGPT, write me a 10-page essay on anything, and it spits out this thing.

Or ChatGPT, you know, find something in this religion that'll persuade this group of the thing I want them to be persuaded by.

That's hacking language because religion is also language.

And so this new AI that we're dealing with can hack the operating system of humanity.

It can hack code and find vulnerabilities in software.

The recent AIs today, just over the summer, have been able to find 15 vulnerabilities in open source software on GitHub.
