Watching #KingOfClones, a #Netflix#documentary (caveat viewer) and less than 11 minutes in, the subject, Dr. #Hwang#Woo-suk says the line that marks the current boundary I know people like #PeterThiel, and governments like the #US and #China, are actively (and very secretively) trying to break: "We cannot simply make #DNA out of a vacuum."

It's this kind of technology that will fundamentally alter humanity forever, not #LLM's and #AI alone.
I’m currently reading #Frankenstein, Or The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley. I’m having a bit of a rough time, because, to be as polite as I can, her style is a reflection of her era.
I’m doing this because I want to catch up on all the reading that I was supposed to do in high school. (Apologies to Mr. D, Mr. F, Mr. S, and Ms. G.)
One of the nice things is that nearly all of the material is freely available on Project Gutenberg, and that means I can read them on my #Kindle.

Today in Labor History April 27, 1759: Mary Wollstonecraft, was born. She was an English philosopher, historian, and early feminist who advocated for women’s rights. In her A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), she argued that women are not naturally inferior to men, but only appeared to be because they lacked education. She married the philosopher William Godwin, one of the first modern proponents of anarchism. She was also the mother of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, who wrote Frankenstein.
