- The 2023 Human Genome Editing Summit recordings (day 1 and day 2) were shared on Vimeo, and participants debated whether the He Jiankui CRISPR-baby scandal had paradoxically widened the Overton window for germline editing by letting regulators declare “those limits were transgressed, so everything else is now open.”  
- A protest site, stopdesignerbabies.org, was promoted as a counter-voice at the bioethics conference, underscoring ongoing tension between open-transhumanist and mainstream bioethics communities.  
- China’s new “Measures for Ethical Review of Life Sciences and Medical Research Involving Humans” were located; discussion highlighted that the rules explicitly exempt private companies and foundations, raising concerns about regulatory arbitrage.  
- Participants dissected the concept of “truly informed consent,” arguing that third-party reviewers can always invoke Zeno-like goalpost-moving; a Rejuvenation Research review on self-experimentation (Hanley & Church, 2018) was cited as evidence that many scientists quietly self-experiment but fear institutional retaliation.  
- A proposal emerged to use large-language-model summarizers (OpenAI API, LLaMa) to mine ~16 million words of #hplusroadmap IRC logs and auto-generate wiki updates via pull requests, with interactive human approval to overcome Discord’s poor searchability and chat-log entropy.  
- The Discord-to-wiki workflow inspired recollections of Google Wave and PurpleWiki, which once allowed transcluding chat into living documents while preserving authorship—functionality seen as ahead of its time.  
- Hardware links included Essemtec’s solder-paste jet printer for pick-and-place assembly and Nano Dimension’s DragonFly IV printed-electronics system (75 µm traces / 100 µm spacing), plus a Thingiverse design for a 100 kG benchtop centrifuge powered by a household vacuum cleaner.  
- A transcript of Chris Eliasmith’s “Spaun 2.0” talk (biologically plausible spiking-neuron model) was added to the diyhplus.us wiki, illustrating the channel’s practice of archiving cutting-edge computational-neuroscience content.
