The new generation of AI research + genetic programming is basically leading to a scenario where the organizations in charge can lead to a new genetic world order.<p>Eugenics2.0 - you can engineer viruses that you are immune to or have cures for but can spread with the rest of the population.<p>We are seeing this with a not-to-be-named entity now destroying a not-to-be-unnamed entity with remotely. We are seeing remote battles happening where the instruments and wielders of destruction are decoupled from the destroyed via an intermediary - we have seen this in media - whenever information disintermediated with proxies you tend to resort to more polarized behaviour.<p>Our rate of technological progress means that the frontiers whether on the biological scale or the computing scale, will to planet scale or evolutionary scale impact rather than economic scale.<p>IMO, the only counterbalance is to go to open source and open governance of both AI and genetics. We don't have a free market anymore in either.
