Biology Is Self-correcting

·5 mins
Thought leaders worldwide have been weighing in on the AI mania that has gripped the world. There are many amusing predictions, some of which are on the doomsday end of the spectrum and others that are more optimistic. But one thing is clear: whatever happens, biology will self-correct. Biology is OG technology: it has been around for billions of years and has had a really, really long time to perfect itself. One neat thing about biology is how evolution is self-correcting: failures and errors are weeded out, and the best solutions are kept and allowed to flourish. Humans do much to stop this process, but it still happens. We spend a lot of time trying to pick the winners and losers, but ultimately nature decides.
