No one typing on this board will have to worry about any of this outside of maybe immersive reality....I know designer babies are kind of close too but I would hope our government would step in on that.
The problem is that there are very good and honorable reasons to cut out certain possibilities when looking at this. And that will sort of pave the way for non-medical choices to trojan horse their way in.
Honestly, i'm really glad to be alive right now. I don't want to live for 150+ years, have to decide if I want my mind uploaded, have so many choices about my own child, etc.

4) Ultra Realistic Sex Robots
Only people who should be scared are women. Once they make these things ultra realistic, cook, and clean with no arguing it is over for women.
All the benefits and none of the crazy drawbacks that real women have. We'll eventually be able to make human incubators for fetus development.

Deep fake tech combined with AGI directed by a totalitarian state You would be able to trust no one
Or it could actually reintroduce privacy and free speech to normal every day lives since we could just claim any video of us doing or saying anything unseemly is just a deep fake

But I tend to agree with you more. Deep fake tech is fricking terrifying and could threaten the entire social fabric by utterly destroying the idea of a unifying objective reality.

Or you know, could lead to an issue with birth rates unless these sex robots were directly from Blade Runner 2049. That’s more the point of the danger. We can already see this happening in Japan.

The more and more advanced we become, the more I believe that Ted Kasczinski (sp?) was correct.

If they can also cook and clean it will go down as the greatest creation of mankind

why is Cryonics terrifying again?

All those are coming for sure. Just a matter of when
Just imagine the day where all global communications are monitored by an AI that has the ability to parse the data and make predictions in real time.

2) Personal Decision Makers

I’m more worried about social media being able to manipulate people’s mindset and beliefs through a like and dislike reward system by bots (tik tok Chinese). People are obsessed with likes and going viral. They can put 10,000 likes on what they approve of and 3 on thoughts they want to eliminate

That’s covered under personal decision makers.

Also mind upload actually sounds pretty cool if you get to design your own "afterlife"

Yes therein lies the conundrum...but in my opinion the benefits don't even come close to outweighing the risks....it would be a no from me.

I’ll take #4 for $600, Alex.

Imagine banging a hot sexy robot that knows how to throw a serious fricking on you like never before.

First we need to figure out what the risks are and all of that - where we can help and where we can't. I'm not going to have to worry about this so I'm just concerned that everyone is starting to be concerned with AI, etc. and the genetics revolution has been happening and gets far less discussion or public acknowledgement.
