@DrAliSKhan@ProLifeIVF There is no single sequence for intelligence. Even if someone’s SNAP 25 sequence predicts a high IQ, I would argue that intelligence is a function of the learning opportunities, nutrition, environment, community and relationships a child grows up with.
@DrAliSKhan Still, it is morally problematic to be able choose between IVF embryos. How does this form of selection narrow the genetic pool? Would people select the same types of embryos?
@DrAliSKhan In fact, the opposite. I had some undergrad students who refused to take notes in my class because, in their words: "we will just take a printout of the whiteboard" thinking it was electronic. I had to explain that my marker was actually ink and the board was white plastic.
@LevendisJohn Not at all, even though many of the papers I grade are written by the usual LLMs. I could use AI to grade, but then the LLMs would be grading themselves and each other.
@DrAliSKhan “All public health is global health”. What an impressive legacy. He reminds me of my father in Uganda who had two sets of vaccination syringes: large ones for cattle and small ones for the rest of us.
