I just finished reading an interesting hard science fiction book called The Punch Escrow. The story takes place several decades in the future, and it revolves around the idea of quantum foam and teleportation. It points out why teleportation never may be practical, but it brings up the idea of human 3D printing, which could be used more effectively for space exploration. However, it also would have a massive number of other uses, both good and bad, which got me thinking about what else could change our future in a massive way.
Great! Its really fascinating. Btw, about the bio-engineering thing, I read somewhere (https://gadgtecs.com/2017/07/13/scientists-used-crispr-put-gif-inside-living-organisms-dna/) that now not only can scientists edit DNA to their liking, now they can also store data in DNA! Like LOADS AND LOADS of data! 1 cell could contain many gigabytes! Imagine what this could lead to!
On Organic Printing: I'm not as concerned about the printing of food as opposed to printing of organs using stem cells. Printing food is more of a convenience.
On Eon Musk: All of Eon's ideas start with Federal funding and usually end up costing the tax payer a lot more than is known. I tend to take Eon's words as thought exercises in how to get the government to pay for his businesses. That is why it is logical Eon thinks AI is dangerous since it's hard to sell happy to the government for funding.
