Here’s a great story about a gator found near the Grand Canyon.
Toward the end of the video, the guy comments that the gator, raised isolated from other gators, is not “socialized” to common gator etiquette.
We know monkeys and human infants, raised in isolation from “socialization” have emotional and developmental issues.
This video suggests primitive organisms also require intra-species socialization.
Do chickens need socialization with other chickens?
Crows? They are supposedly intelligent.
Slime molds?
Colony forming bacteria?
Lichen?
Plants? Oak mottes, colonial Aspen?
Intriguing, yes?
What is the common thread that moves these diverse organisms to “socialize” with their own kind… For the common good?
Our AI experts are debating how to “socialize” AGI so that these super intelligent “things” do not kill us humans off.
