If you ban gene editing in this country, then other nations and private islands will supply gene services to the rich. At least the rich can be our guinea pigs instead of the other way around. (I already suspect Zuckerberg is a test.)

Either way, active gene editing is out of the bag and will gradually become widespread one way or another. (I already have a list of inherited flaws I'd love to fix.)

...because they merely expect AI to replace existing tasks. Whether it actually does is more nuanced. For example, many employees pressured to use AI say it makes their tasks harder by creating AI slop that needs cleaning up. They have to deal with mistakes that wouldn't be in a human draft or in existing time-tested templates. If and how fast employees will get better models or learn to prompt better is unknown.

It's essentially management's gamble. Those in the C-suite often don't spot or are slow to understand front-line patterns, as nobody likes delivering lackluster news to higher-ups. They'll typically hear, "There are a few learning curve hiccups, as expected, but we're making progress" even if the productivity ship is taking on a little water.
