Running through this quickly it for the result to be a 1% chance of there being a surname / genetic mismatch you need not 99% of paternity certainty but ~99.95% paternity certainty. Modern society is awful.

Math backup for that: Binomial distribution, 20 trials, 20 successes, p() = .99 - result is 82% p() needs to be at .9994 to get to the 98.8% we see.

That's interesting. Also, remember that a 1% chance of cuckoldry means that quite a lot of attempted cuckoldry has to happen, it's not an instant/certain thing.

1% today. IOW, modern society is crap at preventing women's instinct to commit paternity fraud compared to past society.

Yes but if you look at how strongly women were repressed in previous eras it makes perfect sense. 1.5% per generation would mean that over 40 generations a man has a 50% chance of losing his investment in his descendants.

Yes, women obviously need to have their instincts repressed for civilization to continue functioning. 1% chance of paternity fraud is historically unprecedented and civilization ending (as you're seeing with, ya know, the end of civilization)

That may be true but it may not be. Human progress is rapidly handing the baton to AIs. GPT-3 is going to shock us. The human era is on such a limited timeframe that 1%-4% non paternity is now irrelevant.

Humans have always built tools of increasing sophistication and the key is always a contest between men on how well they can use those tools.

Not for much longer. 1-2 more generations.

Strong disagree on that. There's no incentive to building a system that has its own goals rather than one that's tuned for a given task - even if the task is really broad like "produce text". 1/x

Given that that's the case the worst case is that a bunch of people will be out of work. There's a market opportunity for anyone who can figure out how to use these highly sophisticated machines to do things that are economically valuable. This is the same situation as always.
