I love #opensource and #distributed #peertopeer systems. They are essential to our future. Want to be free from tyranny? This is the way to go!

Instead of #RepoTheGeneticOpera and #GATTACA, let's do @vulpinelabs
Instead of hyper capitalist bullshit, do #incredibleedible and #transitiontowns with #urbanpollinators and #permaculture
Instead of proprietary software and patents, do #linux and #openpatents (defensive publications)
Instead of copyright trolling, do #netlabels and embracing the beneficial impacts of #sharing #piracy! #sharingiscaring
Instead of monopolies on your data and what you watch, do #Peertube and #Fediverse

We can shape the future by choosing what we use and what impacts us!

We are watching #Broligarchs give birth to #Gattaca https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gattaca #Elysium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysium_(film) #SilentRunning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Running and #SoylentGreen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/395646/trump-inauguration-broligarchs-musk-zuckerberg-bezos-thiel

Nous vivons déjà dans le film de science-fiction Gattaca, sorti il y à moins de 30 ans. Je pensais que je ne verrais jamais cela de mon vivant.

Et pourtant, les plus riches peuvent désormais sélectionner leur embryon en fonction du futur QI et d’autres paramètres !

Je vous invite à le découvrir ou à le revoir. Il n’avait pas vieilli la dernière fois que je l’ai visionné.

...and if you think my last post was just fear-mongering, consider this: "our increasing understanding of human #DNA could indeed lead to the identification of individual genetic predispositions." #GenomicPrediction #eugenics #IVF #discrimination #Gattaca https://buff.ly/3BMCKkF

Films which make a plot or world-building point of electric vehicles?

#film #EV #Gattaca of course.
Others?

@ct_bergstrom private prison industry will get a bump out of this - you will be able to be convicted for future crimes #minority report #gattaca

‚Getacar‘? Ist das sowas wie „Harry, hol den Wagen!“?!
#gattaca

Un giorno, molto presto potrebbe essere #gattaca (un film del 1997) che consiglio a tutti di vedere.

Real life Gattaca?

Est-ce que remater #Gattaca en pleine période de mélancolie était une si bonne idée…

Some say it’s ‘genetic discrimination’, but insurance companies are fighting for access to these test results https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/may/12/life-insurance-industry-customers-genetic-tests-ban

‘I’m being discriminated against purely based on the genes I was born with’, says a Queensland man who couldn’t update his life insurance policy

On the subject of #Rudolph, did you know that one of the first roles of #MayaRudolph was as a delivery nurse in #Gattaca? She records the name of the main character when he is born.

Il sequenziamento del genoma dei neonati potrebbe presto rilevare in anticipo centinaia di malattie anche rare, stravolgendo modelli di cura e prevenzione. Questa evoluzione, che muoverà i primi passi "ufficiali" dal 2025, apre nuovi orizzonti nella medicina predittiva ma solleva anche questioni etiche e sociali.

Reminded about #Gattaca and how quaint a 26-year-old movie now seems

At the time of its release, decoding the #HumanGenome was on the edge of science fiction

Now the whole plot falls apart simply because it’s trivial to use facial recognition to recognize almost anyone

Wonder what will seem naive in 2049?

Every #tool is dangerous, and the more powerful the tool the more dangerous it is. Of course. Is #AI as dangerous as #nuclear #weapons? Probably not. It might be in the same league as, oh, say #internal #combustion #engines—and those have done a hell of a lot of damage. But they haven't done it by ushering in the #apocalypse. Instead the damage is from slow, creeping, cumulative change where the effect of any one individual event is too small to measure.

So I really think the focus on world-ending scenarios takes away from the conversations we need to be having. This reminds me a lot of the simmering "how far is too far" #genetics debate, especially the kibitzing from "#ethicists" with no understanding of the #biology and an #ethical sense that isn't nearly as developed as they think it is. There are conversations on that topic I'd like to have without the constant Greek chorus of "#Frankenstein! #Gattaca! #JurassicPark!"

On how ‘#Gattaca is still pertinent 25 years later’.
