CRISPR "only made genetic engineering more efficient" which is no big deal. Smartphones don't count though, despite both requiring scientific breakthroughs in multiple fields and turning society upside down, because... reasons. Your standards are incoherent.
BTW, for someone who claims not to poo-poo AI, I find it hilarious that you still don't think we're due for another breakthrough or two in that area in the next decade or so. I hate the current genAI craze and I still think that's coming.
- threethirtytwo 9mo agoIt’s no longer a break through because the breakthrough already happened. Everything subsequent to LLMs is an incremental increase in optimization and not a breakthrough. Even if some breakthrough occurs it will be dragged through shit and ridiculed for being overused for generating slop. Smartphones required zero breakthroughs. It’s just existing technology made smaller and more efficient. What changed is how we used technology. Under your reasoning dating apps would be a breakthrough.
