I was pleased that several authors signed onto responsiblebiodesign.ai ! As they note: "protein design carries the dual potential to accelerate development of novel therapeutics... while providing parallel capabilities for nefarious uses, such as engineering of bioweapons"

We've released a post about the looming risk of AI cyberattacks on critical infrastructure. It notes that we are living under a "cyberattack overhang." Advances in defensive techniques are of no help if defenders are not keeping up to date. safe.ai/blog/cybersecu… by @snewmanpv

NEW: 23andMe admitted that hackers broke into customers' accounts from April through September of 2023, and the company didn't detect the attacks. It's unclear how many accounts were targeted, but hackers were successful breaking into 14,000 accounts. techcrunch.com/2024/01/25/23a…

NEW: 23andMe is blaming customers for the data breach that affected 6.9 million customers. We saw a letter 23andMe sent to a group of victims that is suing the company, which shows what strategy the company will use in these lawsuits: blame the victims. techcrunch.com/2024/01/03/23a…

Understanding the 'digital supply chain' of providers that use your sensitive data for analysis or manufacture remains critical. Providers should be transparent, *especially* when this involves data crossing national borders. Users must be aware of how far their data travels.

@antonioregalado 'intellectual disability' is listed on their screen.... genetic markers with correlation here would likely work on both disease and lifestyle levels, same probably true for some autism markers..I'm not necessarily opposed to this but its worth watching as the train crosses track
@antonioregalado Also, consensus opinion with scientists/bioethics committees... is that we can intervene with life threatening disorders but not with lifestyle enhancements ... the wording i saw from company doesn't seem to distinguish or draw any hard line between those groups.
