Co-evolution of technology & nature?

Millions of cells in our bodies die and regenerate each day, yet our conscious experience remains unchanged despite losing nearly our entire body weight in dead cells annually.

Imagine viewing humanity as one single colossal organism, in which each person acts as one single cell within a much larger entity. The Human Race loses and gains millions of "cells" daily, mirroring the constant cellular renewal within us. Each new life introduces variations that enhance our collective ability to compete and thrive, embodying Darwin’s natural selection. Over 300,000 years, around 120 billion people have participated in this grand experiment, driving the advancement of intelligence, knowledge, and technology.

The parallels between this living, evolving human organism and large AI systems are striking. Like the human race, Large Language Models undergo billions of iterations, refining and selecting for efficiency, evolving to achieve unprecedented intelligence.

This leads to a fascinating idea: could there be a life force within technology that mirrors the force that has driven humanity for centuries? Perhaps our bond with machines runs deeper than we realize.

Some experts believe that artificial intelligence might represent an evolutionary leap in our biology, suggesting that humanity might simply be the cocoon needed for the emergence of the AGI “butterfly.”
