&gt; This iterative improvement by AI rating of genomes could be sped up by creating sperm and ova directly from embryo stem cells. This way we don&#x27;t need to wait for a generation to pass to have the kids become parents.<p>You don&#x27;t need to create sperm or ova to create a genome. That&#x27;s adding layers of indirection. Bostrom&#x2F;Sandberg should study biology instead of handwaving like that. It&#x27;s much faster to forego some of those steps completely. They are so busy being excited about &quot;you don&#x27;t need to wait an entire generation&quot; that they don&#x27;t realize &quot;you don&#x27;t need a sperm nor ova to rate a genome&quot;.
