Not an expert but a 90% reduction doesn't seem that much. It grows exponentially. If even a few cells develop resistance, then you're soon back to square one. Most treatments AFAIK wipe out huge swathes of the disease before it returns.

Except in rare cases, it won't. It will enhance future generations.

I blame Hollywood for cultivating this mindset in people: what makes a good story does not necessarily comport with reality. Look at GATTACA's portrayal of genetic modification as something reserved for the elite when all *real* trendlines actually point to it becoming cheap and widely available. In fact, the *real* concern among experts is that it becomes TOO cheap and TOO available that bad actors are able to use it for their purposes e.g. engineering bio-weapons.

So what worries me about futuristic tech like AGI and gene stuff is not the elite but the general population not being mature or 'evolved' enough for it because I know I trust Bill Gates more than most people.

Sad to see this place is dominated by communists.

In every interview he still says it's much further down the line. Only tech illiterate laymen could think otherwise.

Sam Altman says AGI is much further down the line. I trust him.
