This comment and the parent comment are some of the most insightful things I've read on HN, thanks! Haven't considered genetic engineering's risk from a computational perspective, but this is absolutely spot on! Unlike other experiments, genetic engineering can be incredibly disastrous to humanity. There's very real risks of destroying our food supply, the environment, and our health. And so far, we're taking these risks in the name of GMO crops, which are either resistant to toxic chemicals like glyphosate (Round-Up ready soybeans), or worse, plants that produce toxic chemicals to ward off pests (bt corn).
