Not enough time. I was researching intelligence enhancement of adults via genetically engineering delivered hy viral vectors. Then my timelines for AGI got shorter than my time estates for having a testable prototype. I switched to directly studying machine learning. That was like 7 years ago. We probably have less than 5 years left. That’s not much time for genetic engineering projects.
That’s probably true. I’m taking a gamble that only pays off in world where biological brains matter for at least another 30 years. But given the size of the potential impact and the neglected mess, I think it is a gamble worth taking.
