Mario Woods passed away on October 16, his family has shared. He took his story of Ellsworth in 1977 to the Pentagon's UAP office, and I was glad to interview him on my YouTube channel. He called me last week and I missed it. Thank you, Mario. My thoughts are with his family.

950 AI agents. 21 hours. One strange pattern in the DNA of viruses that infect bacteria. Anthropic says it looks like CRISPR-like repeats. Nobody knows yet what they do. So does that count as an AI discovery?

About two billion years ago, one cell swallowed another and didn't digest it. I think that event is a good model for what AI is doing to work, and it's a lot less grim than The Matrix. The common fear goes like this. If AI gets smarter than us and can do our jobs, why would it keep us around? I think that question sneaks something in. It pictures AI as a separate thing standing outside, deciding what to do with us. Life has been through something like this before. Go back to that swallowed cell. Normally that's the end of the smaller one. This time it kept living inside the bigger cell. The big cell got a huge energy surplus. It grew bigger, grew a nucleus, and carried a far bigger genome. Every plant, animal, and fungus on Earth comes from that line. The small cell gave up its freedom. It can't live on its own in the wild anymore. In return it got a safe home and food for good. It became your mitochondria. Human mitochondria still carry their own DNA, 37 genes, and they still divide on their own schedule inside your cells. They lost their independence, but they didn't lose themselves. They picked up a second job too. When a cell is damaged, its mitochondria release a protein called cytochrome c. That sets off the machinery that takes the cell apart. That self-destruct switch is one of the body's defenses against cancer. The thing that got swallowed became part of the body's checks. Then it happened again. A cell that already had mitochondria took in a cyanobacterium, and it became the chloroplast, the green in every leaf. Chloroplasts still have their own circular DNA, bacteria-style ribosomes, and two membranes, and they divide by splitting in two. Later, other cells swallowed algae that had already merged. That's where diatoms and dinoflagellates come from. Mergers inside mergers. None of this is my idea. Konstantin Mereschkowsky said chloroplasts were captured bacteria in 1905, and nobody listened. Lynn Margulis pushed the idea in 1967, when most biologists thought it was nonsense. She was right about mitochondria and chloroplasts, and that part is in every textbook now. She used the word symbiogenesis, new kinds of life coming out of a merger. Plants hold about 450 gigatons of carbon. That's roughly 80% of all life on Earth by weight, and every plant cell carries both mergers. By weight, the merged cells took over the planet. The bacteria that never merged are still here too. About 70 gigatons of carbon sits in free-living bacteria, against about 2 gigatons in all animals. A new level of life showed up and the old one didn't disappear. Now bring that to AI and your job. There's a good study on this. Erik Brynjolfsson, Danielle Li, and Lindsey Raymond followed a company with 5,172 customer support agents while it rolled out an AI chat assistant in stages. The AI suggested replies and the agent could use them or ignore them. Issues resolved per hour went up 15% on average. The biggest gains went to the least experienced agents. The new guy started working more like the veteran. Same person, more capable. I've seen the same thing in my own work. I used to have a thumbnail designer. For a while I had an editor and an assistant. Now I do it all myself with AI. Some parts are worse, but overall I think it's better. I've also watched people who have never set foot in a SCIF ask a chatbot what goes on inside one and then interview guests about it. Factories went through this with electricity. The first thing most of them did was swap one big steam engine for one big electric motor and keep the same shafts, belts, and layout. Not much changed for decades. The real gains came when they put small motors at each machine and rebuilt the floor around the person doing the work. I think most companies are at the one-big-motor stage with AI right now. New power, old layout. Biology has a good picture for the end of a network. A mouse and a whale have capillaries about the same size. The whale doesn't grow bigger capillaries. It adds more branches. For all of history the fixed-size human has been the capillary, and companies grew by adding people and layers of org chart to connect them. If each person at the end of the line can do more, you need fewer branches in the middle. Plan, draft, check, and deliver could be four people. Now one person with AI can cover more of it. I still plan, draft, check, and deliver. I still check everything the AI does, and I did 12 versions of the slides for this video. But I don't need four people. So my bet is the middle shrinks before the front line. That means routing, coordinating, and paperwork going up and down. Some front-line jobs will be replaced outright too. I think we will lose jobs. That doesn't mean new ones won't be created. That's why I think we're merging with AI rather than being pushed out by it. It doesn't take a chip in your head. It's already in your work. Take your phone away and half of what you can do goes with it. The merging idea isn't mine either. Ray Kurzweil has argued it, and Gregory Stock wrote Metaman in 1993. What I'm adding is a look at what the past mergers did to both sides. I don't think AI is its own species, at least not today. By the test I use in my book, it can't feed itself. It runs on our power plants, our chips, and our money. It doesn't reproduce. People build every model. That makes it a part, not a separate organism. I think The Matrix got the merger right and the roles backwards. In real life, the thing that got taken in became the power plant. That's AI, not us. The real risk is something bodies already know how to get wrong. Cancer cells aren't stupid. They adapt fast, beat drugs, and grab resources. What they lose is alignment. They stop working for the body and start working for themselves. A person can do that. So can a company, a government, and an AI. I'm not waving the rogue AI fear away. A solid tumor starts about the size of a pinhead, and to keep growing it needs blood. It signals the body to grow new vessels toward it. Judah Folkman published that idea in 1971. So don't just watch the model. Watch who gets the blood. For AI that's chips, power plants, and money. Big isn't the problem. Your liver takes a lot of blood and it isn't a cancer. Escaping the checks is the problem, like captured regulators or no way to switch it off. The checks need layers. Courts, regulators, the press, competitors, and I bet AI systems themselves will be part of it, the same way mitochondria ended up running part of the cancer switch. You want a healthy immune system, not one master controller. That's also why I'm optimistic. If AI were like nuclear weapons, where only governments could have it, I'd be very worried. Imagine if only the CIA had it. Instead, what you mostly need is silicon and energy. I made four bets, and each one comes with a way to prove me wrong. Bet one. One person gets more finished work done in total time, checking included. If the gains vanish once you count the checking, I'm wrong. Bet two. The middle shrinks first. If coordination jobs grow instead, I'm wrong. Bet three. More real options. Smaller teams, smaller companies, and one-person businesses that last and actually earn. If output goes up while independence goes down, I'm wrong. Bet four. Humans keep setting the goals and deciding who can override these systems and who can pull access. If an AI starts acting as its own entity and grabs resources against the people who built it, I'm wrong. This is a hypothesis, not a settled prediction. I'm not saying nobody loses their job, and I'm not saying AI is safe. But the last time life did this, the cell that took the power in wasn't pushed out, and the bacteria that stayed independent are still doing fine. I think we get the same two options.
