@ericschmidt told Congress that "Many people project demand for... [AI]... will go from 3 percent to 99 percent of total [energy] generation" Let's hope tech like that from @Extropic_AI can avoid this. And congrats @GillVerd on being in the first batch at @BlackFlagVC

23andMe bankruptcy... 15 million customers. 85% opted into "research" --> ~12.75 million people. 12.75 million people's DNA data was shared with (sold to?) other companies for "research". 12.75 million people's DNA data that is now up for sale to the highest bidder.

PSA - if you ever used #23andMe, now would be a good time to download all ur data and request for them to delete all ur info 23andMe is not doing well. Its stock is on the verge of being delisted... Amid this downward spiral, Wojcicki has said she’ll consider selling…

Great article on the dangers of Synthetic biology + AI. Hard to stop this progress... and the potential good outweighs the bad. We can, however, protect our DNA to mitigate these threats. #DNA #Security #cybersecurity foreignaffairs.com/world/new-biow…

Were you or your relatives born in California after 1983? This is a must read. "Many parents don't know the state is collecting newborn DNA". Where does this DNA go?! cbsnews.com/sacramento/new…

NEW: 23andMe initially said its data breach hit 0.1% of customers (~14k). 23andMe now reveals that — actually — there were 6.9 million victims. Number is so high because by hacking those ~14k accounts hackers then were able to get data from relatives. techcrunch.com/2023/12/04/23a…

All the major public #genomics databases have intentionally falsified data in them but researchers either don’t care, don’t think it will affect them, or don’t believe genomic misinformation is a problem.

Montana has passed one of the nation’s most protective consumer genetic privacy laws—the Genetic Information Privacy Act. Could this law and the state’s bipartisan approach become a model for the rest of the country? eff.org/deeplinks/2023…

"They should consolidate open and proprietary datasets...in a central biobank that...maintains strong privacy protections for human genetic data." Such a task will require strong genetic information #security, #DNA encryption.
