The inevitability of machine intelligence does not imply the inevitability of gene-edited transhumans. More likely than sterility/cancer at 25 is selection for genes with unknown plyotropic effects. So optimization for IQ in your 20s --> Alzheimer's (or whatever) in your 40s.

We weren't? You certainly sounded like it, the context was IVF which is more important to selection than editing, and Dumby explicitly said 'selection'. In any case, the more IQ variants you edit in to boost frequency, the more you approximate selection on IQ...

You are, but that's not much of a limit. Standing genetic variation is enormous if choice among all variants could be maximized.

Genotyping of embryos has been here for a while. You need to read up on the literature man. This stuff has been used in animals for years. Follow the @genomic_pred account for instance. One can also impute from parents genotypes by identifying breakpoints
