What do you mean? Why would they be depressed? Do you mean because they’d be pressured into working on AGI alignment, or something? Yeah, don’t do that. Same as with any other kids, you teach them to be curious and good and kind and strong and free and responsible and so on.
Within normal human variation, some strong evidence actually points in the opposite direction. From the Herasight CogPGT paper: “Overall, our comprehensive pleiotropy analysis provides little support for substantial negative off-target effects. Instead, higher cognitive ability genetic predispositions appear beneficial.”
Huh. They have the observed association with autistic traits being negative? That’s different from what I’d previously heard. (I’m a layman re/ this stuff, but just noticing.)
The genetic portions of this seem like a manifesto for creating highly intelligent, highly depressed, and thus highly unproductive people.
