Your comment about our intelligence as a species existing as bits of language distributed across the net has been on my mind for many years.
It is strange to me that we might have knowledge that exists on that Internet that no human currently possesses in their mind.
That LLMs now have access to this knowledge and could explain things to us humans that would be completely novel to us.
I've always thought the Earth itself is slowly bexomint alive. Power plants are it's mitochondria. Datacenters as a distributed brain. Internet as the communication network. Transmitters and receivers it's mouth and ears.
