How We Really Get to Mars: Space Travel, Human Survival, and the Next 100 Years of Society | Andy Weir PT 2

How We Really Get to Mars: Space Travel, Human Survival, and the Next 100 Years of Society | Andy Weir PT 2

In Part 2 of Tom’s wide-ranging conversation with Andy Weir, Andy explores how AI will transform material science, medicine, biotechnology, and possibly even human evolution itself. From AI-designed drugs and custom gene editing to the ethical dilemmas of “designer babies” and the future of cosmetic self-alteration, Andy contemplates what these advances could mean for human identity, equality, and society’s deepest values.


The episode then hurtles into the far future, weighing the prospects of artificial superintelligence, AI alignment, and the ultimate “tool or agent” debate. Tom and Andy touch on open versus closed source AI, existential risk, and what humanity’s historical track record tells us about technology.
