Concept Graph & Resume using Claude 3 Opus | Chat GPT4o | Llama 3:
Resume:
1.- Major global problems stem from narrow optimization at the expense of the whole, a form of disconnection.
2.- Earth Species Project aims to discover and decode non-human language using AI.
3.- Much is already known about complex animal communication, e.g. parrots and dolphins naming their young.
4.- Plants like primrose flowers can "hear" and respond to the sound of approaching bees by producing sweeter nectar.
5.- AI expands what humans can perceive, showing the world is more magical than we realize.
6.- A study showed dolphins can comprehend abstract concepts like "do something you've never done before" and coordinate novel synchronized behaviors.
7.- In 2017, AI gained the ability to translate between any human languages without needing examples or Rosetta Stones.
8.- AI represents semantic relationships geometrically - words with similar meanings are clustered near each other.
9.- The shapes representing different human languages can be aligned, revealing a universal structure of human meaning.
10.- This approach works across modalities, enabling AI systems to translate between text, images, music, DNA, brain scans, etc.
11.- Animals like dolphins, elephants, and lemurs show signs of self-awareness, altered consciousness, and rich inner experiences.
12.- Challenges include overlapping animal communication, with 97% of beluga whale data unusable because individuals can't be separated.
13.- Advances like separating simultaneous speakers and using multimodal sensor data can help address these challenges.
14.- Potential applications include understanding and influencing animal behavior, like encouraging whales to avoid areas with heavy ship traffic.
15.- The goal is to listen to animals, not speak, as true change comes from listening. Speaking ability is only needed to test understanding.
16.- Early experiments, like humpback whales recognizing recordings of their own vocalizations, show two-way communication is possible.
17.- AI may enable fluent interspecies communication before we fully understand the meaning, requiring caution and ethical guidelines.
18.- Humpback whale songs can spread virally across vast distances for unknown reasons, so we must avoid inadvertently manipulating their culture.
19.- Open-sourcing this technology is limited due to potential misuse by ecotourism or poachers, necessitating safeguards and responsible disclosure.
20.- Experiments in real-time two-way communication, starting with zebra finches, are underway, with a 6-year timeline to achieve it.
21.- Discovering animal sentience and consciousness could transform human society, from law to religion to our relationship with nature.
22.- The disconnection between humans and nature is a fundamental problem; restoring communication may be deeply powerful.
23.- Indigenous myths often begin with humans communicating with nature and losing that ability; this tech may allow us to reconnect.
24.- AI can help us realize that humanity is not the center of the universe, breaking our ego in a necessary way.
25.- AI's highest potential may be in expanding our perspective and revealing the world as more magical than we currently believe.
