My guess is that an “almost” AGI that is 90% correct and is almost 90% as productive as a human (even though it has many odd quirks) will happen by 2027. An AI like this that will be able to double check it’s own work will be enough to radically change the world.

I read about it months ago but there was not much news about it at all. I think this is actually gigantic news and the benefits for dna editing and safety is going to cause huge research advances mush sooner.

This is what I’ve been thinking as well. The huge assortment of narrow and specialized cross domain AI’s will cause a singularity to happen before a mature AGI is realized. I think it will happen soon.

A way to block or “reset” immune responses is really needed to find a cure for type-1 diabetes and other auto immune diseases.

Only way to grow them is maybe large greenhouses at great cost. Cheap bananas will disappear for a while.

A sci-fi dystopian future may indeed be in our future. Maybe not for our country but for those authoritarian countries that exist now. They will be impenetrable indefinitely. Imagine the Harkonnen from the Dune movies.

Go to the bottom and select the fourth sample. It’s “don’t stop believin’” by Journey. It’s just slightly noisy. This makes me think that many A.I. text to image models are doing something similar with images.

The ending hinted that the singularity wasn’t actually “ended”, there were nano-bots at the very end that were re-emerging.

Seems silly at first but realize that it will probably be some religious groups that will do some crazy anti-AGI stuff. Some people will never accept a machine “singularity” vs their religious beliefs.

Currently researchers plan the models clearly with math, etc. If this works as expected it will create much better models but they will be completely inside a black box without an easy way to understand why it’s better. This seems inevitable anyways.

From the article: “A human embryo implants in the womb around seven days after fertilization if everything goes correctly. Due to technological and ethical constraints, the embryo becomes unavailable for study at that point. That is why scientists have already created stem cell models for various kinds of embryonic and extraembryonic cells in order to investigate human development in a dish.”

The new cell is actually a stem cell that resembles the stage of development they currently don’t have access to.

I think that once they get a good development body they can enter the physical characteristics into a computer. They can then simulate and use artificial intelligence to rapidly develop the robot. I’m sure they probably did this already but I think that by next year there will be a huge difference. A big milestone will be when the robot can observe a teacher and learn a task.
