Not having a disease sounds like a pretty good enhancement to me.
I mean, there's cases where, like, let's say osteoporosis, right?
So if you have that, it's a disease, right?
But if you had a gene edited to prevent it, you have stronger bones.
Stronger bones sounds like an enhancement, right?
I basically think the line is so blurry that people will start with this for disease prevention and then it'll upgrade over time.
And I think anything's on the table, even IQ or whatever.
It's like, should we have more smart people in the world?
Probably.
I mean, that seems like a good thing to me.
Yeah, thank you for having me.
This was a great conversation.
I love talking with people who want to build a future.
CEO Brian Armstrong wrote in a memo that Coinbase is aiming to build a leaner and faster company.
As a result, the company would be removing layers of management and laying off about 700 employees in a company that has just about 5,000.
One factor cited by the CEO was AI, which is allowing the company to automate some processes that used to require humans.
A number of top companies such as Meta and Amazon have announced layoffs to invest more on AI.
Coinbase also says the layoffs are in part a result of the volatility in the crypto markets this year.
