Great, now I have Mordin singing I Am The Very Model Of a Scientist Salarian stuck in my head again.
Really though, this seems neat. It is just contraception, it doesn’t spread, it doesn’t get passed on, nothing. But it’s much easier than sterilization or castration as far as procedure time goes.
maybe I’m out of place here but having a bunch of vet techs modifying dna seems like a problem not unlike allowing car companies using public roads to test their self driving cars.
I wonder how disastrously bad things will need to get before it finally breaks through into public consciousness that maybe putting surveillance cameras everywhere was a bad idea. I expect we’ll find out in a couple of decades.
I’m really unsure of how this will play out. Gen Z seems to be way more okay with stuff like this and I think it’s just a general mindset shift that I don’t really see changing. Gen Z tends to constantly share their location with every acquaintance, on snapchat, etc all the time.
As much as stuff like this freaks me out and seems many steps too far, younger generations don’t, so I feel this is going to get worse over time, not better.
The real issue is that people have become so soft, so INCREDIBLY dependant on convenience, that they have given up all control. Having autonomy/privacy/ownership over your own environment is just too much work. It’s easier to just let someone else handle the surveillance system for you. What could go wrong?
This issue of complacency plagues just about everything, from cloud computing and banking to transportation and housing.
How does this Fusus get access to private security camera feeds? I would assume companies and citizens will have to opt in to the sharing? www.fusus.com
This is why I refuse to own Ring cameras. Any company that has a program at all to share with the police is a nope from me. I don’t care if they say it’s opt in, it won’t be.
If I have cameras… I really don’t mind supplying the footage if police ask. But I really would like that they ask. And I REALLY don’t want them to have footage that they don’t ask for and don’t obtain a warrant for.
The plan was to have criminals use the storefront — an online end-to-end encryption service called Tutanota — to allow authorities to collect intelligence about them.
