Genetically altered people thanks to crispr (praise the fucking Lord this happened I was worried we'd start to devolve if we kept natural selection at zero for this long)

penor enlargements

What do you think will be the net result of this?

Presumably the already large genetic advantages of the wealthy (those genetic advantages being a major cause of their wealth) will become dramatically more significant; and the genetically inferior poor (both in global, absolute terms; i.e. Africa and South Asia, and in relative terms within developed countries) will become a sort of permanent underclass with no prospects for improvement - will they die out naturally? Will there be some sort of confrontation / genocide?

Or will they be 'gifted' genetically improved offspring?

Though, I don't quite know why you'd want to go with the latter option. Wouldn't it be preferable to have a much lower world population (say, in the low hundreds of millions at most, with all people being genetically enhanced) with practically all labour being automated than to have anything like the number of people we have today?

I assume this will happen at some point. There are pretty serious efforts underway to grow complex organs like kidneys and lungs in labs from autologous cell samples; and if they have success with something like that, I can only assume a penis would be easy in comparison.

A.I. sex dolls

Nearly everything we're learning about it so far indicates that we will almost certainly be able to develop AI, but that we will almost certainly have no control over it or over how it develops, because like the human mind, it will be too vastly complex to tease out how it actually "works" (this phrase becoming almost meaningless when trying to understand the functioning of systems on this level of complexity). Stephen Hawking and others are not being paranoid. They are simply reacting to this information. That said, we'll also be unable to stop progress on this. If it's stopped in one place it will continue somewhere else in the world.

>AI being conscious at all and doing harm to humanity for any dumb reason when it should be apathetic and not caring.
Not all people are retarded like you and Stephen Hawking.

hopefully neuroprosthetics for more portions of the cns

The problem is that most likely you wouldn't be able to tell what the AI is thinking - whatever it'd use to represent its thoughts would be too complex to analyze.

Fully automated luxury communism

Why does it stop at 2000?

Study probably ended in 2000.

How can you create AI that you yourself don't understand? In order for AI to be more intelligent than us, it'd have to continue increasing its faculties AFTER it has been developed.

Self driving cars

it seems pretty much inevitable, the technology is already working, it just needs some more refining to improve safety, consistent laws and regulations in place, and the market penetration to reach most drivers, by 2042 manually driven cars will be a relic for hicks and rich collectors.

simultaneously the idea of 'personal automobiles' is mostly disappearing. it is already happening, with how dominant Uber is and how heavily invested it is in self driving technology. rather than owning a car, the standard will be that most cars are fully automated and operated by rideshare companies and called only when needed by smartphone. privately owned cars will mostly be electric commuter vehicles for upper middle class urbanites, or old cheap likely manual driven cars for people with long commutes. the idea of the car as a personally owned internal combustion transportation will be a thing of the past outside of toy muscle cars for rich people.

were already at the point where most jobs cannot afford a new car, with the added expense of automated driving they will be unaffordable for the vast majority, and Uber and rideshare apps already provide most of the convenience of personal cars with very little of the cost and inefficiency. and having people in the mix instead of just cars drive themselves puts everybodys lives at risk.

significant drop in cancer deaths. it has already gone done significantly since the 80s.

>a thought of betraying humanity
Define: A thought of betraying humanity.
And that's assuming we'd even be able to parse its mind.

Kill yourself or stop shouting retarded bullshit.

Look up neural networks.
Aka "give a program a fuckload of data so that it can assemble a script that works like a mind".

It's why facial recognition is now better than human, why voice recognition is superhuman (remember: Voice recognition software works purely by sound, with no context), why self driving cars are taking off, why humans have been beat at Go, why Starcraft is about to get AIs that can compete with humans properly, etc.

Pic related. An antenna created by an evolutionary algorithm, which is in a similar field to neural networks.
No one knows how it works. They only know that it works better than anything that could be designed by a human.

What you are essentially saying is that the poor masses will live an even more restricted life, while the rich can be even more proud of even having a car at all, let alone five hundred solid gold humvees.

That's a bit hyperbolic it's not like the economy has reached a point where purchasing your own property is an impossibility for the majority of people
oh wait
serfdom soon, fellow pleb

AI doctors with better diagnosis and gene therapy.

Strange. On log lin charts the curve tends to be a straight line. Here we see an exponential shaped curve on a log scale. That is a bit suspicious. Or does it grow with the Ackerman function?
