We've had an extremely light discussion around AI with artists complaining realising they too can be automated, we had the concept of a literal baby making facility, I'm assuming genetic rewriting for immortality is next week...
But getting away from the leftist takes on these subjects and the meming on facing a skynet/matrix future, what are the real opinions you have on this kind of tech?
Personally, with AI it's a Pandora's box, if we CAN create sentient artificial life, best hope is not to do it but if a dumbass does we imbrace and integrate that being, as starting conflict will probably be the reason we die.
As for artificial wombs, having the tech is needed but not in this commercial sense that video presentation gave, more as a 'last resort, literally required to save humanity' sense.
These are the two ones mentioned this week alone but any other tech you put on the 'forbidden' side or your takes on the ones disscussed.
I have said enough about AI art for at least a couple weeks but I wanted to mention something about the artificial wombs: I feel like this is where we need to be careful. It will breed a group of super intelligent and very strong as well as resilient caste of people who will investably be made to rule over us. I would be very careful around the whole gene changing stuff.
The idea to potentially safe the human race by generating humans in such a facility as a last resort is a good thing, it's good to have such a technology about that works(this one was just a proof on concept from my understanding). The changes to dna is what scares me and we should be very vigilant about this.
