, the way this would function is that a group of humans that, are sharing knowledge with each other is gonna survive better than another group of human that's not, and that's how evolution will ensue. This is actually quite controversial in evolutionary biology because that's invoking something called group selection, which now some people the modern incarnation of this, something called multilevel selection, where, there's some consensus that, yes, there are group level effects, where that kind of can impact things.

Doesn't mean it won't work well, but we should be concerned about how well this will generalize to real tasks where we might care about this much more deeply. So for example, with a human, because part of this good evidence to suggest that part of my ability to reason about your mind is because I have a mind that works quite similarly, We are almost bound together by some common mechanistic synergy between the way in which our brains work because our brains are quite similar, which which enables a lot of data efficiency, which is I'm pretty good at predicting what people do.
