Other than AI ideally. I've long been fascinated by CRISPR.

Wanna hear about niche tech or anything y'all find fascinating

I used to be excited for ai, and, let's just say, that excitement has dwindeled due to recent events.

I'm scared that the same happens to CRISPR honest

The issue with tech is the economic model its under. I can imagine a million dystopian changes to society.

The doctor in China for example.

Hey maybe China starts creating soldiers with four arms and the us does too and you have a new arms race.

I'm studying biology and CRISPR is a crucial tool for a ton of research. So it's already really useful!
