The Germans have been doing it for a while too, but they seemed to have got more results and be closer to launch.

The US is also heading for a debt crisis. I wonder when the stock market crash comes, will Trump's attempts to 'fix' it be what finally ends the dollar's day as world reserve currency?
The purpose of the trial was to avoid diseases caused by faulty DNA transmitted via the mitochondria. Mitochondrial DNA is only 13 genes out of 20,000, and is transmitted separately, but in some cases can cause disease. The third person here was a woman who donated her healthy mitochondria & its DNA to a nucleus where the existing male/female nucleus was damaged.
Will swapping out some of the 20,000 core nucleus genes be a future development? Perhaps, but maybe it will make more sense to have them gene edited, and not get transplants from extra people.
Although gene editing techniques are patentable in some countries, I wonder if this could be much cheaper than the monthly weight loss shots, which can be very expensive in some countries.
In the future will medical tourism for gene editing be a thing? Maybe the same clinics that offer hair restoration, botox and plastic surgery today will have it as an option.
Submission Statement
"We wanted to test the entire planning process including approval, construction, and real-world operation of the plant to learn how to draw up concepts for building larger production platforms," said Professor Roland Dittmeyer, Head of KIT's Institute for Micro Process Engineering and coordinator of the "PtX-Wind" H2Mare project during the opening ceremony in Bremerhaven."
Interesting this isn't just a technical proof-of-concept, but they are looking at the practicalities of commercializing it too.
It seems logical they would test it on extracted gall bladders first. Finding a gall bladder during surgery seems far from an insurmountable task for AI.
"our" democratically elected leaders
You know the internet isn't just made up of Americans, right? (E.g. I'm Irish & the other 2 mods of this site are Indian & English.)
Why not try and see developments from a global perspective?
People overestimate how much an aging population will be a burden in decades to come, because they underestimate the impact of robots.
At least they're being honest about it.
A Swiss company is trying this, though using concrete instead of water. Wear and tear and moving parts are disadvantages though.

Yes. It seems very unlikely to arise from current LLMs. AGI-Hypers keep expecting signs of independent reasoning to arise, and it keeps not happening.
