Digital intelligences can share knowledge millions to billions of times more efficiently than humans: many identical copies process different data, each computes desired weight changes, and they average those changes (sharing weights or gradients) at trillions of bits per sharing—whereas humans transmit only about 100 bits per sentence via distillation (mimicking observed behavior), so 10,000 digital agents taking 10,000 different courses can all learn everything.

“by sharing the weights or the gradients, they can share huge amounts of information if you have many copies of exactly the same model.”
