#2Ok that’s it for me. Selective breeding via BLUP at least had a speed limit, this is going to end with cronenburg brundlefly creations.

#3This is probably the only way "humans" are going to colonize any planets other than Earth. And probably lots of new places on Earth too.
Just include the genes for extreme-cold or extreme-arid climates. Or the genes for low oxygen environments, or even for metabolizing useful things from eating rocks. Or from spending 24 hours a day in salt water.

The ease of this "just" is the most concerning thing in the context of humankind's survival.

#6The article mentions AI multiple times even though the invention appears to have nothing to do with AI. I guess it’s important to have it as a marketing buzzword.
Sidewinder itself sounds neat.
Has anyone dabbled in hobbyist genome editing and DNA synthesis or is this something that requires a huge pile of capital?

Oh if only science was not constrained by ethics.
I can already see the people protesting against the creation of space marines.

Is there a gene to avoid getting addicted to doomscrolling? ;-)

#10Cool. I wonder how long until we are able to steal anti-cancer genes from whales.
