As a retired scientist, I well remember the furore created by thIs Professor's gene treatment. The horror it engendered in the scientific community was for several very appropriate reasons: 1) He did not go through an ethics committee, as is mandatory for experimental treatment of humans, so basically he acted outside of permitted scientific boundaries, alone and without any kind of peer review; 2) he SAID he successfully carried out the therapy, but it is not known if he was really successful or not; because no independent checks could be carried out on his work because no one had known about them; and 3) there was grave concern that he might have made other genetic alterations to the twins, possibly deliberately, possibly inadvertently. How could anyone be sure of what he actually did? There was no way of finding out, because he never disclosed who the parents were, or where the twins could be found. So two humans with possible genetic mutations were at large in the world with no means of following them up. Just thought I would elaborate for you. Best wishes.

In such a cold world thats so different from when I was a kid, it's really nice to have a nostalgic thing I can come back to every single day. The world lost it's mystery and wonder the more that technology advanced. Your channel brings back that feeling again. The awesome conspiracies with research presented in such a high quality way. Laying alone in my room, getting goosebumps while my imagination runs wild, forgetting the rough patch I'm going through. You guys have saved me. Thank you for everything that you do. I hope that someday I am able to offer this feeling to atleast just 1 person before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

I don't normally comment on videos, but this was fantastic! The similarities this episode has with the video game series called Deus Ex is scary. It explores themes related to human augmentation and the ethical implications of advanced biotechnology. Set in a dystopian future, the series delves into the societal and personal impacts of cybernetic and genetic enhancements, including the creation of augmented individuals with superior abilities. You touched and much of the issues the game portrays. The games often raise questions about the consequences of such technologies, including issues of inequality, surveillance, and the loss of humanity. it reflects real-world concerns and debates about the potential uses and abuses of technologies like CRISPR and cybernetic implants. Its crazy! Thank you again for this episode! Great stuff

FYI for anyone interested in CRISPR. It works on one gene at a time, can't go into all cells in the body, and requires a guide RNA sequence (gRNA) to get into and affect chromosomal DNA in the first place. This means it will usually target one tissue type, expressing one gene type. Also, most chromosomal DNA is packed tight unless you're looking at specific cell types where specific genes are unpacked for use. Like myostatin related genes in skeletal muscle. It is feasible to have multiple gRNA versions of CRISPR active at once, but they'd need to be sent in at the same time because the immune system of the body targets CRISPR as the bacterial contagion that it is and learns to fight it. Long story short, you get a few individual genes permanently changed, or close to permanently changed, but you don't change whole regions, and you can only do it once or a few times before your body learns to tell CRISPR to go away. Also, it isn't going to pass the immune barriers in the brain or the eye ... not without serious consequences, and really it's unlikely without new research. Oh, and skeletal muscle ... good luck infecting all of that. It's tough to get into. I'm not saying this isn't a definite potential future, but it will probably require multiple generational refinements on CRISPR at the very least, and more likely totally different bacterial or viral recombinant techniques (CRISPR is a bacterium that can affect DNA in a recombinant (permanent) way, and there are also viruses that do this too. There are many types, and all known today have the same restrictions, more or less). Great way for a bunch of biotech companies to spin some marketing BS and convince some idiots in government agencies to invest, though.

To be honest i was in doubt at first about your videos or channel. But i must say your really really good! You research what you are talking about even when it's about science fiction or anything in general, and that's much more professional than most channels or even newspapers nowadays . And also the fact that you approache things with a scheptic believe view ( your words) makes it all more enjoyable to watch your channel.

When your video quality is at or better than an episode of "Black Mirror", you know you are doing something exceedingly well. Amazing!

Im a genetisist and I just want to let everyone know that CRISPR isn't that specific yet. It has a lot of off target effects. But it is getting better. Before anyone gets too scared. Love you guys, great episode!

Can you describe in more detail the ultimate goals of projects with crisper? Is it health and wellness, or is control a more prominent component? I am genuinely curious bcz I have great hopes for Ai and the ability for humans to live peacefully with our planet, but illness does complicate existence. Although I also believe modern day human lifestyles have lead to many an illness, and some things we cling to, knowingly make us sick. So we tend to be our own worst enemies. That, and government lol I trust God and collective intelligence but hold very little faith in the masses. It will be something to see the part crisper might actually play in making things more balanced or if tipping power in one direction is more the objective.

Science innovation without ethical considerations leads to despair and damage. 2. Just because you can do something does not necessarily mean you should.

This video is actually a rip off a single chapter in a scientific book called "The Revolutionary Phenotype", but they skipped all the evolutionary parts of the theory since that would go over most people's head. Basically, the AI will end up farming us and we'll become like sterile workers of an ant colony with the queen being the AI, that holds decides our genes for the future generations. Once the AI starts self-replicating, a new life form will be born and the DNA lifeforms as we know it will slowly fade out of existence. According to the theory, this phenomenon has already happened before on earth more than once, and the last time it happened, the existing life forms were made of RNA (RNA World Theory). DNA was a subpart of the RNA storing the genetic code for the RNA, but once DNA started self replicating and evolving for itself, it took over its master, the RNA. The only lifeforms left from that era are what we now know as RNA viruses, which you can kind of think of theses viruses as the "imperfects" mentioned in this video.

ai isnt what you think it is. I am a programmer and "ai" is essentially a marketing term that refers to various things like large language models or neural nets. This stuff is literally just advanced calculus, linear algebra, and statistic problems. Did you think 20 years ago that linear algebra or calculus could take peoples jobs or replace 90% of workers? Of course not. Calculus or statistic never was able to replace workers en mass and it likely never will be able to. Computers just make more net jobs for society. Offices are for sure smaller then they used to be but overall there are more offices so more jobs, same thing is going to happen to some industries that adopt large language models. There is only a very small amount of jobs that can be replaced by things like large language models or even drones.

I for one believe whatever people think to do someone somewhere will at the very least try to do it, especially on life modification, life extension and social behavior modification. For years I have said we need an entire legal system to deal with all things electronic with judges and attorneys cross specialized in science, engineering, medicine and computing, AI included. The challenge would be enforcement of course. But, including at both Harvard and MIT even the law school(Harvard) and MIT (media lab and other departments) simply ignored and still ignore the idea. The current legal system is utterly unprepared to deal with the current, let alone the near future, human physical realities we are creating.
