TTW I asked Eric Schmidt if he had seen Gattaca: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXk8MJGHaEg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXk8MJGHaEg For context, he was talking about letting algorithms run wild on our genome to reduce risk of health problems and genetic disease, then using CRISPR to reintroduce these benefits into our genes. I ultimately wish I had asked the question more directly, but I feel like the response was ultimately "we won't do that because society won't let us", when what I wanted to hear was "one would need to be incredibly mindful about ethical dilemmas surrounding the proxy of algorithms tell us what's best for us".
