Extinction is starting to look a little less permanent. #TEDTalks
If DNA is just a string of letters, could AI learn to read it … or even write it? Bioengineering researcher Eric Nguyen reveals how AI has upended the rules of biology, potentially creating a future where disease is cured with personalized medicine, extinct species are resurrected (Jurassic Park, anyone?) and microbes designed for Mars…

The Story You’re Not Hearing About AI Data Centers | Ayșe Coskun | TED
The race to build smarter AI is crashing into a physical limitation: the power grid simply can’t keep up with the energy demands of data centers. Computer scientist Ayșe Coskun shows how we could turn this problem on its head, transforming AI facilities into virtual batteries that help stabilize the grid and accelerate clean energy.…

Studying the universe for a living? Sounds like a pretty big job #TEDTalks
The universe started with a bang — but how will it end? With astonishing visuals, cosmologist and TED Fellow Katie Mack takes us to the theoretical end of everything, some trillions of years in the future, in a profound meditation on existence, wonder and the legacy of humanity within the immensity of time and space.

So wrong on so many levels is my opinion. We don’t need only the rich, evil or highly educated to survive. Longevity has already been set, don’t play God because humans have never gotten it right.

i can see where this is heading…we are going to create new “human” species..humans with elf or orc or vampire characteristics…that will ultimately fail,war,poverty,hate all that will come and all those poor “new species” will be treated like freaks…and so on and so forth…just like we have seen in countless movies,video games,etc.

Very frightening. Why does “Evo” sound so much like “EVIL”? Changing our DNA is such an out-dated idea. Most of us have outgrown this science-fiction idea that it would improve the world. We learned that there are better ways to improve the world and solve our suffering. Personalised medicine? Think again.

I love how he references Jurassic Park as a point of leverage for the idea, completely glossing over the fact that Michael Crichton wrote that series as a cautionary tale against this very concept. Jesus, take the wheel. 🙃

You need energy and materials to change an organism, what you described would literally catch on fire or starve in seconds.

@user-qy4lp8wp5c I agree, the analogy with T Rex is not appropriate 😂
In any case, I believe we shouldn’t assume to know something is not true just because we haven’t seen it before. Furthermore, physics allows for all sorts of crazy stuff

Any innovation (fire, knives, vaccines, nuclead energy etc.) can be used for good or evil puposes. It is not about the innovation, it is about OUR integrity and morality. So it is up to us to have that discussion, not to ignore it or wishing it away.
@Jabersson
December 19, 2025 at 4:15 am
And before anyone hits us with the “you’re just upset cuz this is the future”, do you seriously think we’re gonna use this technology better than we have ANY other? What does personalizing DNA do to change society, except to further divide us and give us more things to fight over?
