>>9639524
a) No shit sherlock
Whoever made that graphic above was retarded and it's nowhere near that close (i.e. not in our lifetimes), but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
b) How would you know? Besides, AI doesn't mean it has to be mechanical. 'Artificial' means it's made by us as opposed to naturally occurring, so anything we tried to attach to a creature would more likely be constructed organic neurons/pathways.
Health effects are a more complex one, since we have no idea how mentally stable something like that would be, but there are these things called 'tests' that are quite useful for seeing what could go wrong.

I've said it multiple times on this board and I'll say it again - in terms of fantasy fetishes that are going to be possible with genemodding, Giantess is going to be the biggest one. Just make the women ~7' tall and attracted to "cute"ness, and make the men really tiny and cute. Doesn't require much outside of what we already have.

The next step is fully synthetic new species. With entirely rewritten with new codon basis. Once you switch this basis it will be completely firewalled off from existing virus.

So basically a completely re-written organism designed intelligently to be a hard break from life on earth. This gives you immunity from all naturally occurring things.

After that it's just a lot of genetic engineering to get the other traits you want like intelligence, longevity, cancer immunity, etc.

Basically the future at least of biological life is a complete re-write. Using the existing biological systems as basis for the creation of entirely new ones. By applying actual intelligence instead of the RNG and local maxima limited evolution we can get insane gains.

There is no one single direction, we are evolving rapidly as a species in multiple directions.

The rate of human evolution is mostly based on reproduction because any idiot can now survive.

We will become multiple species

We will also start using genetic engineering to change ourselves

The trans humanist movement with also happen, but the time line is unsure.

at what point will these sub species not be considered human?

>> No.9642353

>>9639492
It depends on whether you count the development and advancement of technology as "evolution". We are a species that is basically defined by its use of tools, so its only natural to slowly correct problems of our biology by either genetic engineering or making mechanical changes to our bodies.

CRISPR and biomechanical intervention to prevent the inevitable reduction in muscle mass that humanity will continue to experience over thousands of years from lack of exercise and necessity for physical stimuli. Evolution will not select for intelligence much more (if at all) than it already has until we have some great cataclysm or a darwinian calling for intellect.

The biomechanical intervention will also use AI that has been trained through analysis of our typical brain activity, memories, and autonomic nervous systems in order to enhance cognitive abilities and assist any physical enhancements (robotic muscles/joints, artificial endocrine systems, etc)
