It's so strange to see people switch to the other side in an open source/hacking debate, when it comes to hacking systems that are not 'traditional' computers.

It's so strange to see people switch to the other side in an open source/hacking debate, when it comes to hacking systems that are not 'traditional' computers.
Of course in this case the systems in question are actually most definitely Turing complete on many levels; and much, much older.
'Life' is ultra-advanced (non-artificially) intelligent (non-alien) nano-technology. If that doesn't seem totally fascinating and something people might want to hack... what on earth does?
- mattmaroon 6y agoYeah it’s interesting. I read the article and enjoyed it. I’ve really got no problem with someone doing it. I’m not suggesting people shouldn’t be able to so I don’t feel I’ve switched sides. But someone said that your risk from covid was higher than your risk from a home made vaccine, and to me that’s almost certainly untrue for nearly everyone at best. That’s where the thread started. I was disagreeing with someone’s obviously poor risk assessment.
- Kim_Bruning 6y agoFair enough. Thanks for taking the time to explain your thinking!
