Ai will be used in advanced weapon systems. It's inevitable that it will be used to kill humans but it won't be the ai's used for civilian applications that cause us harm out of spontaneous volition.

Nearly all psychiatric disorders are the result of the perception of a string or a single situation that leads to a continuous mindset.

Natural and typically beneficial functions of the mind that become tainted with a locked focus on something unpleasant. Then as this focus becomes noticeable, coping mechanisms develop into additional diagnoses. The vast majority of disorders are related to anxiety, survival instincts.

Try not to limit yourself to thinking genetic alterations is the only way to be comfortable

People leveraging AI properly need to take the time to audit what the tool creates. Now, not many will do that because many folks don’t know how long it takes to edit something/someone else’s work.

Thanks, where can i read current news and updates on genetic engineering?

What do you think antidepressants and other medications do?

There’s a lot of humans that have no problem killing other humans.

Outside of that, nothing gives a shit whether we live or die.

There is no limits to genetic engineering, merely the limits of the creativity of the humans who practice it.

That said, given the current free market structure of the world and given the current state of the “free market” I would say nothing short of tens of thousands of dollars, maybe hundreds? At least within next twenty years. After that too hard to say. Future unstable.

There’s also the issue of insurance coverage, which no company in the US will cover it. Not a single one. As we speak every genetic engineering procedure being done on people is done through government research programs.

Tldr: within twenty years, and for more money than anyone can afford.

Sincerely, a genetic engineering major

It won't matter. There will always be a ghost in the machine of the original programmer who's biases will be inherently part of the system. Look at ChatGPT and its alter ego DAN 5.0.

The programmers gave it explicit instructions, but it learned anyways.

Jobs like some dude trying sell everyone in online courses in how to use ChatGPT to increase their revenue stream?

Yeah, I wanna know when I'll win a billion dollars.

how much will something that doesn't yet exist cost? how would anyone here know?

>How do I get started in the field of genetic engineering?

Go to google and type that question into the search field.

“Increase worker productivity” = hire less people for same result.

Come on man, even fucking miners could tell you this shit. What used to take hundreds, now takes dozens.

What makes you think psychiatric disorders are genetic ? What if they are more environmental?

5G doesn’t even work, bc corpos can’t actually build anything right. I’m sure this will be just as shitty

The problem is that psychological disorders are not deterministic from the genes but depend on a vast plethora of factors from biology, to psychological, to social. Also, they are often so polygenetic that altering a single gene wouldn't do much. You'd have to modify a great part of the genome, which would affect all sorts of things.

I don't know. Nobody has this far made a VR environment that has any benefits for any of that. What benefits would people derive from "meet with others in a 3D space" relative to just having a video-meeting? I've not seen it, neither has anyone else.

I just video-meetings extensively, and yet I see zero point to meeting someone in a 3D space instead.

Hell it's not managed to become popular even for porn, which is often an early adopter of new tech.

Genetic engineering is not the answer to what ails you.

Permanently changing the way someone's brain works? What's the difference between that and mind control? How do you even test that ethically?

...they are finding out a lot of psych disorders have as much to do with your gut biome as anything genetic, tthere might be family histories but geneline could be barking up wrong tree.

Also arbitrary percentage says nothing about how difficult or complex the whole thing was. Which is ironically bad communication.
