    The Genetic Arms Race | How CRISPR and AI Destroy the World
    Imagine a world where the genetic code is as easy to edit as a simple copy-and-paste.
    This is the reality of CRISPR, a revolutionary technology that could cure diseases and save countless lives.
    But in the wrong hands, it may lead to a dark future.
    Unlocking the secrets of DNA and the rapid evolution of AI is creating unintended consequences.

Think about it...if there was a nuclear war, all of the people above carry a card as part of a contingency and continuity of government plan. If something should happen, they know exactly where to go to be safe. The very people we elected to represent and keep us safe will save themselves and leave us behind. How ironic is the fact that the people, who got us into a nuclear war, are the first considered to be savable. How could we possibly resist anything.

    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.

    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.

    You know the Borg in Star Trek? People asked on various forums and theorized what they were first and where they come from. Turns out, they were very much like humans once. Roddenberry put them in as a warning of what could happen, in an alternate timeline to us. Remove all emotions, be obedient, work for an A.I, destroy and assimilate everything in search of more information and in search of perfection. And Roddenberry wrote those episodes in the 80s.

The heart you and your entire team put into your work is evident, and I'm always looking forward to what's next in the queue. BUT!...I wanted to let you know that, in my opinion, this episode is in a class by itself. Genetic engineering is a very difficult topic to cover because of it's obvious complexity, but the "good v. evil" dichotomy it presents, I believe, is even harder to articulate. You did that beautifully and gave me a lot to think about. I do wonder where we'd be on this and all manner of world issues if Pandora hadn't opened that box. Thanks so much! ❤

Genetic companies will charge the wealthiest 1% and arm and a leg for it which will produce enough income for them to be happy while everyone suffers forced to buy medicine pay doctors and pay for health insurance. That way nobody is stepping on anyone's toes and everyone gets rich. Billionaires will spend multiple billions of not 10s of billions for genetic modification. You really can't put on price on insuring your entire family line will never suffer health effects ever again.

    WOW!!! Thank you for that presentation! What an amazing video! There was a tremendous amount of work and research put into that video. I appreciate all the research that you do! It’s a pure pleasure to be able to watch scientific dramas that actually have real science behind them not just wild fathomable fantasy. I am an RN (a rather old one), having worked in medicine since 1970. My husband is a CardioThoracic Surgeon and together we have seen amazing things happen in the last 54 years. Yes, scientific advances almost always have growing pains where they need to be ‘fine tuned.’ But they were fine tuned to the benefit of mankind! Science has advanced so much now that heart surgery although very intense, is immeasurably safer than it was 50 years ago. My husband and I both have found in our many years on earth that the nature of man is basically good. We all seem to want the same things; we want health, we want happiness, we want love and respect. Most of us work hard to be able to obtain those things. We have five sons and one daughter, three of our sons are computer engineers with PhDs, presently working in Advanced Research in different parts of the world. They see a bright future for AI, to the benefit of mankind. They do not see AI as frightening or negative, and stated that we should try to remember that AI is a tool that is still only as good, effective or as dangerous as those who actually create them. They also importantly noted that because all of these innovative AI programs are being developed and implemented by human programmers, software engineers and developers who actually create these AI programs, it obviously follows that these AI programs themselves are greatly influenced by the judgment, experiences, ideals, and moral ideologies of the Scientists that create them. At a rare dinner get together over the holidays, Our sons and a large group of their fellow scientists noted that even if an AI program develops ‘another AI program’, the original AI was still developed by a human. The Programmers and Scientist who create, work on, and develop anything to do with computers spend eons of time, effort, and effort to recognize and surmise what the potential dangers are, and they are implementing in their programs and in their software actual buried ‘stopgap’ measures absolutely necessary for the implementation of the actual program yet make the AI vulnerable and controllable. These brilliant men and women carefully ilk out anything negative, anything that could go wrong with the programs, and even ideas that are far-fetched or very unlikely. They develop in everything they create a way to control, stop and even destroy the AI that’s malfunctioning. In every situation where you are doing something extremely complicated and delicate, actually even like heart surgery, you carefully find every single solitary thing that might possibly go wrong, even things extremely remote, so you will be able to immediately recognize it and resolve it. Our three Computer Engineer sons and also, one son, an Economic Advisor & one son, a dentist and our solitary daughter an Environment Biologist, and their extremely diverse group of fellow scientists started to talk about how not just AI, but we as fellow human travelers on this gorgeous blue ‘EarthShip’., our obligations to society. They stated in this unique conversation, that to be sure, around the world in every environment ,there are thousand, more likely even millions of absolutely astounding gifted young people who can see hidden and unique answers that lie in all different aspects of Science. Therefore, they, after MUCH discussion and rhetoric, surmised that it is most definitely our ‘’duty and our privilege” to be Nurturers,to these unique children, as parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, neighbors, friends, and communities, to raise them in an environment where they are shown encouragement, positivity, kindness, gentleness, and respect. Where they are taught and shown not only to the children themselves, but also by our own everyday actions, even one to another, living basic moral values that obviously help us all to live safely and peaceably. That it is an amazing privilege to nurture these brilliant, gifted, rare, young men and women and by doing so it will help to create a world which is healthy, safe, and full of wonder. Now, not knowing which child is truly gifted, brilliant or rare, then is it not imperative that we treat each child, within our circle of influence with encouragement, kindness, gentleness, and respect. It is also obvious that each and every one of us, no matter who we are or what our gifts are, and are are able to contribute one to another, that we all may live life to the fullest.
    If then we treat one other with these things and also raised our children In communities where they are basically shown kindness, respect, and ultimately … love. Does it not follow that It is It is absolutely imperative that we value each other, and every single life in our circle of influence. What a glorious world this would be!

    I am personally for eugenics, IF:
    • The editions are done voluntarily, not compulsory
    • The editions are available to everyone equally
    • The editions are done to maximize health and fitness; not super-enhance it
    • The editions do not change the substance of the definition of being "human" -- (such as making them glow or have infrared vision)
    The problem I see coming though, is that governments and military institutions will just simply say, "Okay then, we'll just make our own new species and not call it a human. We can make our own thing that will be so genetically different we can make it be our slaves, and it will have no human rights because it is not human."
    Additionally I don't think that AI being brutal against any living being would be the easiest way for it to conquer that society. I think instead, it would take the ethical road of surreptitiously making you think your reality was something other than it was, but still "allowing" you to procreate and live out your life as normal.
    Except, your child and your mate is not actually real -- it's just another AI or some other virtual thing. You continue to live out your life as you think it would be (never the wiser), and when you are dead, your virtual family can now be deleted. Clean, humane, and peaceful. Leaving room for our AI overlords to do whatever it was they wanted to do in the first place, within the span of 100 years. And what is time to an AI.

    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.

      Then again, you could wrap a genetic modification method up in lipid nanoparticles and inject it into the subject so that it gets delivered to most of the cells of the body, crosses the nuclear envelope and can, in some cases, get integrated into the genome by reverse transcription. Unlikely I know, but hey, just thinking out loud.

      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.

      I don't skip the adverts because when you let them play, it makes AJ money. And that supports his cause. (You don't have to watch the advert, you just have to let it play.) I love this channel, and I love freedom of information. I can let an advert play, knowing that THAT'S the way I support the channel financially. You should do it too!

    Loved the story. When i was young, i used to be idalistic about our future, thinking that we as humans would do the right thing for ourselves. Find ways to eliminate our most horrible traits. Now at 47; I realize that it is "in our nature to destroy ourselves".

      The problem with that statement is: it will go the other way and not in favor of humans. Look at how many human species used to exist but no longer do. Leaves the question of a possibility that technology was their demise. We can say natural disasters caused it, but we know the US government has manipulated the weather and it had consequences to the earth. If the pyramids were power sources, might they have caused a devastating event to occur? Last words: For every unnatural change, there will be consequences. We should never try to play God.

      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.
