This is why I wrote a blog about enhancing adult intelligence at the end of 2023; I thought it was likely that we wouldn’t have enough time.
I’m just going to do the best I can to work on both these things. Being able to do a large number of edits at the same time is one of the key technologies for both germline and adult enhancement, which is what my company has been working on. And though it’s slow, we have made pretty significant progress in the last year including finding several previously unknown ways to get higher editing efficiency.
I still think the most likely way alignment gets solved is just smart people working on it NOW, but it would sure be unfortunate if we DO get a pause and no one has any game plan for what to do with that time.

Agreed and well said. Playing a number of different strategies simultaneously is the smart move. I’m glad you’re pursuing that line of research.
