    Anytime any non scientist wants to genetically engineer babies you should get very worried

    When crypto or ai bros want to do that get outright scared

      Tim Cook, Sam Altman, Peter Thiel.

      We have enough data points to suggest that being gay doesn’t insulate you from being greedy and corrupt.

      That’s important, too.

        We have a code of conduct training at work that includes and anti corruption segment (nothing weird, just stuff like “a vendor buying lunch at a sales meeting is fine, but no gifts or having lunch at extremely expensive places”, and “some places give small symbolic gifts around holidays, usually a pastry. That’s fine. Do not accept a $500 pastry”)

        A couple years ago they updated the module and the person engaging in non-obvious corrupt business practices became gay in passing. The overwhelming response by a lot of the company was “yay! We made it guys! They realized that we like bribes too! I feel so seen”.

        Gay people are just as shitty as everyone else. They’re no better or no worse. They just have sex with people of the same gender.

        Who you want to fuck REALLY doesn’t matter, like, at all, imo, in the grand scheme of things.

    The ability to reduce diseases and disorders in newborns sounds wonderful, until you find out which techno-fascist is behind the movement.

      It’s an interesting ethical debate.

      I have a hereditary condition which passes only by the X chromosome, so should I, as a man, abort a daughter? Because now the risk is too high and I’ve elected to simply not have children. It would be great if I could fix the single swapped base pair that would otherwise cause disfigurement and life-long health problems.

        Yeah I’m always conflicted. Like eugenics is the end goal for these fascists but also… We should try to prevent hereditary defects rtct

        This is why billionaires should be kept away from sciences and tech but unfortunately they are all over it. The fact that these require lot of funding does not help.
