Alex Karp needs to read Richard Dawkins. Neurodivergence is a chromosomal aberration that shows up in the phenotype. It takes evolutionary time scales to affect chromosomes through evolution. Launching a new tech isn't going to do it.

Dawkins also writes in The Selfish Gene that memes, a word he coined, are faster than DNA evolution because we can transmit "better" ideas (through language and art) that lead to better behavior. This kind of memetic transition is what AI is bringing. We're seeing it already. The communication around AI causes fights among friends (pro gen AI vs against, esp in the arts) and layoffs from VC-led companies, as well as spawning all kinds of new business ideas as the article mentions.
