I was a hair's width from getting mine analyzed by them but ended up not bothering or postponing it until I forgot about it.
I've come around to the point of view of being happy about that.

I'm also reminded of this:
During my teenage years I was one of these techno-optimist types fascinated and enthused about transhumanism.
I still see the positive potential but there's some seriously next level totalitarian potential there also which I spent hardly any time thinking about during these years.
This additional lens on the technological developments have dampened my enthusiasm for them somewhat. I no longer wholeheartedly support the stuff without reservations.
