The the that that RSV example that I gave, you know, the the ability to fuse cell membranes together came from a, you know, a virus whose original purpose had nothing to do with building placentas, but, you know, it gets incorporated and repurposed, you know, and this is the kind of bricolage that that life is made out of. So so yeah, I think I think that that kind of, you know, not only replacement, but, you know, parallel pathing, etcetera, you know, it it it doesn't just happen when we make artificial kidneys, it's you know, all the time in nature and is the very hallmark of life.

There's there's this term that I learned from Dan Brown's book, The Boys in the Boat, swing, which is when when the the 6 horsemen, or 8 horsemen, sorry, you know, all achieve this kind of state where they're in perfect sync with each other and and, you know, you know it when you when you when you experience it, the the boat acquires a soul as it were, you know, you all feel like you're like you're you're pulling as 1 and boats with that property go a lot faster than than boats where people haven't quite achieved that sync.

We already have swing in the sense that we are I we identify what we think of as our intelligence with something that is actually in a bunch of other people and a bunch of other stuff around us, you know, and and and we do that kind of unconsciously.

I think if if anything, the biggest gap between transformer based models and what we do is actually narrative memory, right, or being able to form long term memories and and and that way have a kind of persistence of a self over over long periods of time.
