I'd take the eyepatch off the first guy and put it on the last guy

Nothing specific, we just need to acknowledge that if people reproduce with serious diseases the prevalence increases. Medicine is fantastic at saving lives, this is no anti-medicine rhetoric.

Medicine is so good, and only getting better, that our genetic fitness as a species is going to be progressively eroded through the continued spread of negative mutations.

Generations will progressively suffer more and be more dependent on medicine to live a normal life compared to now.

There are two main ways to prevent genetic disease, either don't reproduce or control genetics. Each with their own stack of moral dilemmas. Inaction is also a choice with its own issues and moral concerns, like in the trolley problem, except over such a long period of time the cause and effect is not abundantly obvious

They definitely make decisions on their own that can be unrelated or very indirectly related to the prompt, and then act that out on their own

It's the paperclip problem

Especially with these new models that are left to run unsupervised for days

You are not running any machine generated code on your PC though?

Why is it inherently unethical to kill and eat animals? Let's say I raise some free range chickens on my land, consume their eggs and occasionally eat one. Why is this unethical?

I'd argue it's unethical to kill animals inhumanely or to force them to live so long they suffer like we do with many pets

We don't really have factory farms in Australia, but holy shit the consistent difference in quality between free range and regular pork MINCE from the same shop is insane

Interesting to see Lemmy users who are normally "information should be free" supporters suddenly support the copyright system

Apply some context... It's not going to be removing diseases from the gene pool at anywhere near the rate of before modern medicine

It's a little complex in reality with men being able to reproduce for pretty much their whole adult lives (raising children that support the tribe, allowing elders to live longer and then reproduce with younger women)

But essentially yes

Cell starts as a four legged larva before growing wings, horns, a stinger, the ability to stand upright

The dbz wiki describes the larval form as "a large four-legged cicada", and the imperfect form with "he has sprouted wings similar to those of a beetle"

He becomes more human as he absorbs more humans
