Finally, robotic beings rule the world . . . or at least they're about to.   We all know artificial intelligence is taking off at lightspeed. We're going to see the sophistication of these types of technology grow in ways we can't imagine. So where does that leave us? Will we all lose our jobs or sit on a beach vacationing for the rest of our fleshy days?   Also, there's this FREAKY thing called CRISPR. If you haven't heard of it, well, we're about to tell you about it here. Sneak preview: the genetic implications are astounding, and we may have the ability to play God to a degree we've never had in history.   Aaaand Cody releases the epic rant about our healthcare system that he's been trying to hold in.   Where do you think the future is headed? Is AI freaky or freaky-cool? What are your thoughts on CRISPR? Let us know here! You can also find a great Radiolab episode about CRISPR here.
