I agree. I work in AI and I feel like it gets a lot of the brunt of the "game changing" tech hype, but to be honest if someone solved fusion that would be an absolute societal game changer.

- foobarian 10y agoI keep wondering when some dictatorship will sidestep rules and use genetic tech (crispr et al) to breed smarter humans. Maybe such humans could then figure out FTL, fusion, teleportation, and other Star Trek stuff.
- aetherson 10y agoWell, I think you'd probably have to start with some vague idea how to use genetic tech to breed smarter humans. The problem is pretty far from an ethical one right now. Nobody has the faintest idea how to do it. (Also: if it were possible to breed generally smarter humans using genetic technology, I have a somewhat hard time believing that there are a lot of dictators who would be like, "Subjects who are way smarter than I am? SIGN ME UP!")
