Comment by William Stanford (will-stanford) on Significantly Enhancing Adult Intelligence With Gene Editing May Be Possible · 2023-12-13T04:05:26.283Z · LW · GW

If you get massively multiplex editing working in a dish, there are a bunch of studies these days exposing neurons in a dish to stimuli and training them to play some game or do some task.

Imagine if over 100 dishes of edited neurons you saw a slight (statistically significant) increase in performance.

Also, don't sleep on the astrocytes.
