How could AI stop factory farms (aside from making humans extinct)? I’m honestly interested in the connection there. If you’re referring to cellular agriculture, I’m not sure why any form of AI would be needed to accomplish that.
To clarify: the point of this parenthetical was to state reasons why a world without transhumanist progress may be terrible. I don’t think animal welfare concerns disappear or even are remedied much with transhumanism in the picture. As long as animal welfare concerns don’t get much worse however, transhumanism changes the world either from good to amazing (if we figure out animal welfare) or terrible to good (if we don’t). Assuming AI doesn’t kill us obviously.
