Gattaca Stack

Accelerating human evolution with advanced reproductive technologies.

How it started

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

The IVF clinic of the future will combine a handful of technologies (the Gattaca stack):

1. In vitro gametogenesis (IvG) - make eggs from skin or blood cells (much less invasive)
2. Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) - choose the embryo that best matches what you want, ideally from thousands or more (see #1)
3. Embryo editing - make further edits for disease prevention, or enhancement
4. Artificial Wombs - removes the risk/burden of pregnancy

Lots of work to get there, but this may help with the decline in birth rates. And it would start to accelerate evolution (which, by natural selection, is a very slow process, and only optimizes for survival and replication).

Banning human cloning is your economic moat.

[Mattie Fairchild @Scav]

We banned human cloning shockingly fast. One year between Dolly’s birth and the US banning federal funding for human cloning. 1.5 years to countries banning it.

Tech is much more powerful now. If Dolly had been born today, I wonder if human cloning would get banned at all.

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

Age becomes the number of times you replicate yourself.

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

The next flex is creating younger superior clones of yourself

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

Artificial wombs are here.

[WIRED @WIRED]

R3 Bio has a bold idea for replacing lab animals: genetically-engineered whole organ systems that lack a brain. The long-term goal, says a cofounder, is to make human versions. https://t.co/vjGSj4SUVF

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

It is rapidly becoming economically disadvantageous for genetically unremarkable human beings.

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

It quickly goes from asking AI to design apps, to asking AI to design humans

Fertility and and parenting is solved.

[Balaji @balajis]

China’s fertility problems have robotic solutions.

Reproductive tech is less about aiding reproduction and more about driving evolutionary divergence.

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

The name of the fertility company you were born at will be more important than the name of the country you were born in.

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

Birth rates and headcounts are becoming as irrelevant as tracking horse populations in 1935 to predict transportation capacity. Reproduction is exiting the biology-constrained era and entering the capital and technology-mediated era.

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

AI-integrated monitoring already starts at embryogenesis. It will now carry throughout one's entire life.

[Claude @claudeai]

Claude can now securely connect to your health data.

Four new integrations are now available in beta: Apple Health (iOS), Health Connect (Android), HealthEx, and Function Health.

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

Population will continue to decline until a new floor is designed by reproductive technologies.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Restoring birth rates to replacement level should be top priority for all countries

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

Within the Gattaca Stack, personhood begins with the escrow of capital; capitalized intent. Identity of self is bound to the nature of the capital.

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

The IVF process has completely automated the "sex" in sexual reproduction:

- sperm processing
- egg identification/preparation
- ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection)
- incubation
- vitrification/thawing

Next is complete automation of ex utero embryo implantation and gestation (artificial wombs).

[Businessweek @BW]

A new robotic lab that makes human embryos using AI is now responsible for 19 babies. Is it better at IVF than humans are? https://t.co/3QsLVKARjX

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

100% of human reproduction will be through the Gattaca Stack by 2050.

[Ex Utero @ex_utero]

While currently limited to a few days development, @becoming_ai likely becomes the first team to fully gestate a mouse embryo ex utero.

[Gattaca Stack @gattacastack]

There is a boom in companies developing artificial wombs.

@becoming_ai is the latest to pop-up on the scene.

[Becoming @becoming_ai]

How do we go from a single cell to a complex organism?

For 50 yrs experimentally meeting the nutritional demands of a growing organism has been a bottleneck in development.

For the first time, we built placental support and predictive tools to make it possible.

If AGI is born into this world,
humanity is toast. We are dead.
