hey do you remember that time you talked about those Silicon Valley freaks who want to genetically rewrite animals and humanity via AI? unfortunately it looks like a research lab was just founded for this exact purpose and is being funded by a former Google exec, it's called "Future House" and its goal is to "build an AI scientist" by performing LLM-generated "experiments" on living organisms (they have a wet lab), they also call biology a "playground". literally a giant nightmare in the making
Their mission statement includes somehow drawing comparisons to video games, like Minecraft so I get the strong feeling almost nobody involved is a real biologist of any actual integrity or legitimate experience and odds are exceptionally high that perhaps whatever they try to make will destroy them all or otherwise just be so irresponsible and terrible they'll all end up destitute or in prison. I'm willing to bet they'll attempt some pretty unethical things before they get any comeuppance, though, like Elon Musks's fucking monkey brain experiments. :(

September is cool and all, but who’s ready for OCTOBER THIRST?
"Being bi means all the attraction you feel is gay" NOT ME. All my attraction is not only hetero, it's hetero in the most off-putting way possible. I like men in the fetishistic yaoi fangirl way and I like women in the creepy mouth-breathing guy in your workplace way
Only 13 percent of video games are readily playable and accessible. No other form of media is as endangered as video games. There is no legal path to preserve or archive video games. You can go to libraries and archives for books years out of print. You can rent a movie or download a pdf. There is no legal equivalent for video games. Games companies do not double as archival organisations and they never will. They have never been about preserving. They are about selling. Which is not inherently evil compared to anyone else but they along with the law are directly preventing archivers and preservationists from doing their job and allowing this entire medium to be experienced in the future.
Elon Musk is still saying they'll "debate" who killed Twitter and god, he hasn't realized that this is his legacy, huh?
Like, spoiler alert, Elon Musk isn't taking us to Mars no matter what Captain Lorca said. He's not going to go down in the history books as a new Edison. His most enduring legacy will probably be a cautionary tale. I can't stress how enduring the story of Twitter's failure will be, even long after Twitter itself is forgotten: a man bought a platform so ubiquitous in society that it had every celebrity, reporter and world leader posting on it for FREE, and in a fit of petty ego, obsession, and conspiracy theories, turned it into a barely-functioning mess that alienated all of its userbase but his yes men. It's going to be a infamous business failure story, taught to people and dissected for ages. "The world's richest man blew up a platform everyone used to make someone named catturd2 like him" is just. A tale for the ages
