Very interesting, has the vibe of technology that’s at least 20 years out from really hitting (assuming ASI is later than that) (though even then maybe progress speeds up? Idk, a lot of the barriers will be regulatory and certain parts won’t be able to move faster than human growth and development).
The biggest surprise to me was probably that IQ selection was already happening without much fanfare—I had thought that there would be some law on the books, especially given the culture wars around pro choice/life and current admin. Perhaps it skates by because it’s rare, expensive, inconvenient, screening rather than editing, and a low boost to begin with?
