Why is “iterated embryo selection” desirable on EA grounds?
I can see the argument that this let’s us improve human intelligence, which eg leads to more technological progress. But it seems unclear whether this is good from an x-risk perspective. And I can see many ways that better control over human genetics can lead to super bad outcomes, eg stable dictatorships.
Also safer technological progress, which is where a significant chunk of the x-risks are coming from. I don’t think this would influence the probability of stable dictatorships.
