myata Posted December 16, 2024 Report Posted December 16, 2024 Global warming, pollution, microplastics, AI. Nukes: you thought it should be enough to keep our hands (and minds) full, for a while? Enter "mirror bacteria": an artificial life form that some scientists have been working hard on, and gaining on the success. Except it didn't evolve in the natural world: a completely new entity. What will it do if manages to escape? But we can contain it with perfect, 100% confidence, right? Right?!! Humanity is inventing ever more potentially existential crises without demonstrating the maturity, intelligence and ingenuity to solve one. So far. Can someone guess where the curve is heading? And there are no all-knowing wizards around who would save us from the troubles created by our own hands. Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant
