Eugenics is an idea that just won't die. Plato embraced it; so did the ancient Romans. It popped up over and over during the 17th and 18th centuries, became "scientifically respectable" in the 19th century, was made famous by the Nazis, and now pervades the TESCREAL ideologies.

"And what better way to empower the end-user than to enable them to make their own DNA on demand? The idea of a desktop DNA printer that you can have right in your lab has fascinated researchers for a while." https://t.co/tNWi0ql56U

"Inside the search for the best way to save humanity’s data. From Blu-ray Discs to magnetic tape, archivists are looking for a cheap storage medium that will last centuries." https://t.co/n8o3ODgKV8

"Theoretically, DNA, due to its size advantage, can store all of the world’s data in the sizing equivalent of a coffee mug, as compared to magnetic tape storage, which would require space in the amounts of multiple football fields." https://t.co/aCwsjBCFPU

Introns — sequences that space out pieces of genetic code in DNA — make up almost 25% of human DNA. Biologists are investigating how these intruders got the invite. https://t.co/XYSWiy6Br0

Me: “erm…”
She “I mean, will it be like ‘that will be three base pairs discount mam..?”

1) These white dudes in the #TESCREAL bundle of ideologies (direct descendant of the Anglo American eugenic tradition) create all these random institutes funded by their #TESCREAL billionaires & brought us to today where everyone talks about "AI" & utopia or apocalypse.

[@timnitGebru (@dair-community.social/bsky.social) @timnitGebru]

4) The people who called us the N word, whose ideologies literally are eugenicist (not figuratively), having center stage in the "AI" discourse. Couldn't have thought of anything better in this field right? That's the dude who started this institute.
