Thank you! This exact video made me ask the question, actually. I was wondering if there is something similar, but more recent. And you're right. 8yo video and so relevant today.

Printed organs / artificial organs are optimistically 20 / 30 years away at best. This frankly isn’t something you have to think about, at least not for a long time

Let's hope we are not chosen to be 1 of the last 5. Tortured by the AI God for all eternity. IHNMAIMS.

Some believe all sorts of bullshit. Technological andvancement in general obsoletes various tasks one by one. Indoor plumbing replaced carrying buckets, printing machine replaced scribing etc etc. The vast majority of preindustrial jobs have been obsoleted and people are now doing other things.

That's fine, when a job gets done, it's a good thing, means you can finally get to work on other necessary things you so far couldn't find time and resources for. That works on an individual level, and it also works on the level of an entire economy.

> 20-30+ years away

at best

Yes that is true. However, that is not the only reason cells die after a certain amount of time. If you want more information about that you can look up Hayflick limit (wiki article)

So far organs have proven to be too complicated to be easily printed let alone made artificially entirely. The only internal organ we even stand a chance at right now is the heart. The heart is surprisingly easy as it's just a sack of muscles, with blood vessels running around it. All the other organs are far too intricate and finely structured.

Looking into the future I would say, that organs grown from your own DNA in Zero G in orbit would be our best bet. A lot of things have to happen to make this affordable.

The only people who would get them would be the super rich and I’ll be damned if I want those sorry bastards to live forever.!

>Plastic 'n tech can break, sure, but it can't get sick.

There are organism evolving to eat plastic more and more. I suspect someday plastic diseases will come into play.

The most important part to remember about Hydrogen: It's currently made out of natural gas and not water. The ones pushing for Hydrogen right now are fossil fuel companies, because they are producing it.

(Asking from general ignorance) I've read about telomeres and telomerase and how the telomeres keep shrinking as our cells divide and how once that telomerase is gone, the cell is dead.

Any accuracy there?

I think robotics will follow faster than we originally thought.

There are ads for Google Pixel Pro Smart Phone and its AI powered abilities to change and manipulate pictures. It feels really outdated compared to the actual development in AI. It feels like "KODAK-moment on steroids" because you can tell that google had all the tech already in place but their management decided to take parts of it and create apps for their new mobile phone rather than becoming the first AI web service. Furthermore their management - for some weird reason - favored black SEO methods that actually killed the results. I wonder if google management read the blogs of OpenAI and Stanford AI blog (available for everyone) because they literally described their future steps and what is about to happen in AI development. Google sleeping in its own IT bubble.

I'm not sure if I missed something but in my lecture on tissue engineering it sounded like printed organs are something like 20-30+ years away. There are problems with the cell density, the cell type diversity and the vascularization. We don't even have proper organ models for medical testing yet. And then you will have to go through all the clinical testing and legal processes. Don't mean to be a downer but I thing that is quite some time away, at least from what I've heard.

Also, I wouldn't expect them to surpass the real thing for quite some time after the introduction. They may be better than a failing organ but it is quite safe to assume that our organs are already performing at a very high efficiency rate given the biological compoments.

You would need a way to circulate money through the economy. I favor UBI, but there are other possibilities, I'm sure.

So this is like making software programmers more productive by giving them faster tools like compilers so there is less waiting time?

However once the design is done and tested and chips are being "printed" (?) this speed up does not help with that?

Asking because I want to know how this innovation will impact the production capacity of existing fabs.

The impact will be better designs due to more design productivity but actual production capacity does not change, yes?

Yes, if genetic damage can be reversed and then those cells are used to print organs, you'd be "born" again. The advantage of that is that those organs can regenerate, whereas plastics may degenerate. But if there are applications where plastic is more durable, we should use those.

If 50% of the earning class evaporates, where do businesses think they are getting money? I think we come up with a list of types of cooperate sabotage that can't be repaired by robots. Make work for the humans.

Sounds like the computation may sometimes need to be done multiple times per design:

Even a change to the thickness of a material can lead to the need for a new set of photomasks

Moreover, it sounds you can also get better chips, not just the same chip sooner. Prior to this speedup, inverse lithography could be practically used in only certain parts of the design:

it’s such a slog that it’s often reserved for use on only a few critical layers of leading-edge chips or just particularly thorny bits of them

Furthermore, you can get an increased yield of functional parts, which should lower manufacturing cost:

That depth of focus should lead to less variation across the wafer and therefore a greater yield of working chips per wafer

I don't know about organs made out of plastic, but it's conceivable that the cells employed for bio ones could be genetically modified to be improved over the originals.

You are a very serious person. Please understand that I am not. Please, I beg of you. Understand this. Be better than most. Please.
