Domestication is not necessarily more difficult than creating AI,
in fact since AI doesnt't yet exist it is infinitely easier but that does
not make it necessarily desirable. I may be saying this to the wrong
crowd but I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea of evolving other
organisms, especially since I'm 98% chimp myself. For me part of the
whole push to become boundless is to do it on my own or with the help of a
few like minded people. I'll let Homo sapiens sapiens and the rest of the
DNA gang let random evolution and maybe a little complexity theory shape
them over the eons while move on to bigger, better and transsapien things.
