More like a thousand bad guys show up and they all have "bad idea" written on their chest.
Not sure that's a good idea...

You guys take the point. If the world is suddenly completely different, and the possibilities are rubbing themselves in your eyeholes, it's impossible to hold a stupid worldview. That's the basic problem with idiots.
We've never seen a world where people actually get the possibilities. In my opinion, you'd basically end up with a world full of D&D villains, because chasing power and idiots don't mix (way better then Putin though), but I want to see your take.

General Discussion / Re: Crispy Boys: The Inevitable Domination of Humanity by Gene-Edited Genius (Outs?)
« on: July 03, 2022, 05:16:45 am »Hmmm yes, change the subject from genemodding humans to genemodding viruses. Anyways, I can see it being a problem if a terrorist organization creates a super-plague using it. I'll concede that.Gene-editing aside, does it look like our technological fears are 20 years away?Yes. Yes, it does. True AI is nowhere near, and I have serious doubts gene-editing is potentially an issue on the same scale as climate change AT ALL. And we will begin to feel the effects of climate change far earlier than in 20 years.
Robotics is blooming. "Mundane" gene-editing of viruses is certainly a 20 year problem. You don't need True AI to radically change people's lives. And this leaves out the main question of technological surprises.
Exponential change is fundamentally something that can go from a drip to a flood at a moments notice.
To be fair Max, in my previous reply I did say "gene-editing aside" in this discussion about technology over climate change.
