Unless we've significant technology breakthrough, AI will only serve as amplifier tools for people.

Even if you specify the requirements very carefully, it often still gives you codes/scripts which can't even compile/run. So at least you still need to debug, add the parts which the AI missed, rewrite the ridiculously wrong codes/scripts, and maybe return the final codes/scripts to the AI to clean up.

Throwing things back and forth, maybe it still saves you time, but absolutely not like an autopilot.

The researchers hypothesized that the RNA generated from human telomeres could generate a series of toxic proteins, which they termed VR (valine-arginine) and GL (glycine-leucine). The VR protein is present in elevated amounts in some human cancer cells and cells from patients suffering from diseases resulting from defective telomeres. The researchers believe that the amount of VR and GL in our blood may steadily rise as we age, providing a new biomarker for biological age as contrasted to chronological age.

This is connecting cancer and aging, again.

You have to look at the broader picture. It's good to see better intelligent beings evolved from Earth, be it human or not. You've to admit if there's a sentient AI, it has a better chance than human in freely exploring different universes.

By the way, if next generation AI becomes sentient, I can expect they're generally more rational than humans. Because their food source, power, is different from ours, and they're not as picky as us choosing where to live, I don't see we've so much conflict of interests that can raise a war.

I'm bored, so I asked ChatGPT. Answer is as follows.

It is true that the CCR5 mutation is relatively rare in the general population, occurring in less than 1% of people of European descent and even less frequently in other populations. However, it is important to note that the use of stem cell transplants to treat HIV is a highly specialized and complex procedure that is typically only used in cases of life-threatening blood disorders or cancer.

The selection of a bone marrow donor involves careful matching based on several factors, including blood type and other genetic markers. The donor must also undergo a thorough medical screening process to ensure that they are healthy and able to donate bone marrow safely. So, the illegal harvesting of bone marrow is unlikely to occur, as the process requires significant medical expertise and infrastructure.

It is also worth noting that stem cell transplants carry significant risks, including the potential for severe side effects such as infection, graft-versus-host disease, and even death. Therefore, stem cell transplants are typically reserved for cases where the potential benefits outweigh the risks, and they are not a viable option for most people with HIV.

In summary, while the CCR5 mutation is rare, the risk of illegal bone marrow harvesting is low, and stem cell transplants are a complex and risky procedure that is reserved for specific cases of life-threatening conditions.
