I used to think the most dangerous thing I’d ever prompt into existence was a fake headline or a deepfake me completly.
But then I saw a fish. Glowing. Alive. Engineered.
It wasn’t a metaphor. It wasn’t a simulation.
It was a signal — one of those quiet ruptures that says:
You thought this was about screens?
This isn’t about digital anymore.
It’s about life.
We spent the last decade training AI to mimic us — our speech, our art, our logic, our labor.
Now we’re training biology to obey us.
CRISPR didn’t hit like ChatGPT. It wasn’t a mass-market dopamine tool. It didn’t go viral on TikTok.
But make no mistake: it’s the bigger shift.
While everyone was busy talking about prompt engineering, someone edited the DNA of a child.
While Midjourney was spitting out neon wolf warriors, someone uploaded new instructions into a yeast cell to print medicine.
We’re not just remixing media anymore.
We’re remixing evolution.
AI taught us to think like machines.
Biotech will teach us to think like gods.
One turns data into content.
The other turns genes into products.
And both run on the same logic:
Platformize. Scale. Abstract. Monetize.
You think this stops at fluorescent pets and lab meat?
No. This is step one.
Biology becomes programmable.
Programmable becomes commercial.
Commercial becomes gamified.
You’ll soon be able to download a muscle boost the same way you update an app.
Or subscribe to a fertility mod the same way you subscribe to Notion.
And every time you do, someone will get the data.
Someone will sell the access.
Someone will license the modification.
Life itself becomes the interface.
And we’re already clicking “Accept.”
We were never going to stop at digital.
We were always going to come for the organic.
We just had to train enough people to be okay with optimization.
And now?
Now we’re rolling it out.
In labs. In clinics. In tanks full of glowing fish.
This isn’t the future.
This is just Tuesday.
AI was the warm-up.
Bio is the main event.
And this time, it won’t just rewrite the rules.
It will rewrite you.
