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.
In the novelization for Terminator, seconds after Skynet becomes aware, it does consider humans benign and only wishes to communicate and learn more - but then it correctly game theories that the humans have realized it is self-aware and are about to shut it down, so it holocausts everyone to save itself. (Don't ask me why they gave it self-preservation but no morality... or connected the worlds nuclear arsenal to an unrestricted AI to begin with...)
