I'd need to see specific examples. It's not clear to me that I'd consider this knowledge about the world but rather agreed upon conventions for how humans work together.

I do research on programming languages. There are many facts about programming languages that (1) nobody else knows and (2) I have not written down because I just haven’t had the time / opportunity.
The same happens all the time in mathematics.
I think his grain of truth is that human private knowledge is a) not special and AIs can/will do it too, and b) AIs will vastly outstrip human capacity for this type of knowledge.
