So, how long till they republish an Index updated to include all the arXiv research on Superintelligent AGI or Gain of function or Metahuman articles from PubMed ?


AGI/ASI has never been prohibited, they are just unexistant.

I like the word "metahuman", I have never seen it before. Seems like CP, RC (which are rare guests on PubMed) and some fancy toys like human genome editing (which are available anyway if to research some supersede topics).

Last but not least topic of prohibited books I know is about production of illegal weapons, any cool-sounding euphemism describing this topic in some obfuscated way?
