These neural nets need to be trained on a "wtf" option.

Well, yeah. Only a sociopath would store eggs like that, and the AI knows it.

Wolf Game built their entire game into the Ethereum blockchain. A bug was found in some of their code that provided a potential exploit. They cannot patch it and have instead been forced to recreate the entire game from scratch and issue entirely new tokens. pic.twitter.com/nWn9SHBndJ

Scientists claim big advance in using DNA to store data | BBC

From the link

DNA data storage won't initially replace server farms for information that must be accessed quickly and often. Because of the time required for reading the sequence, the technique would be most useful for information that must be kept available for a long time, but accessed infrequently.

This type of data is currently stored on magnetic tapes which should be replaced around every 10 years.

With DNA, however, "as long as you keep the temperature low enough, the data will survive for thousands of years, so the cost of ownership drops to almost zero", Dr Guise explained.

It's ... a Non Fungible Tolkien.

[Ensign Steve]

Not bits and peecees related, but on the set of Black Panther, they referred to Andy Serkis and Martin Freeman as the Tolkien white guys. Love that pun.

Hi, I'm sure that whoever runs this account has no idea who I am, but I founded @mozilla and I'm here to say fuck you and fuck this. Everyone involved in the project should be witheringly ashamed of this decision to partner with planet-incinerating Ponzi grifters.

I'm amazed it took this long for this scam to pop up.

A public QR code is little more than one of those links you that show up in your email, the ones your IT staff constantly scream at you not to click.

And it can have the exact same results. https://t.co/5CF01c7bvp
