Thanks.

The conclusions there seem to be roughly:

* Keep calm and carry on, because we don't have any better ideas

* Sometimes it's OK to eat the damn marshmallow (i.e. in the face of future uncertainty, remember to do things that make your kids happy today)

I kind of suspect that the first one in particular is more or less people's default response. But I also wonder about what changes people _have_ made, if any.

Yes. If AI happens, the kids are in trouble no matter what. But if AI all falls apart, the educated kids stand a chance of being competitive.

Education is a bet against AI.

Mirror chloroplasts do not seem very risky, but the ability to create them is probably close to equivalent to the ability to create whole mirror bacteria/algae, so figuring out how to make mirror chloroplasts is a very risky line of research best refrained from.
