Gabriel is actually the perfect super-cute non-binary science-communicator (laden with tales of bone-chilling dystopic horror) for Halloween.

Republican Blocks IVF Bill Because It Could Lead to 'Human-Animal Chimeras'

Good morning 🎨 #Creatives, 🌌 #Cosmonauts, 🖥️ #Cyberpunks, 🎵 #Composers, 🎬 #Cinephiles, 👾 #Coders, 🦖 #Carnivores, 🧙♂️ #Conjurers and 🐉 #Chimeras!
If you see this, which seems unlikely because I am yet to understand how this place works, reply to this with the emoji that yo feeling! I'm gonna go with 🐉 Chimera, for I AM THE SUM OF DISPARATE PARTS.
"Here we use a range of reporter proteins to demonstrate that their #chimeras with duplicated #receptor domains produce YES gate protein switches with large (up to 9,000-fold) dynamic ranges and fast (minutes) response rates. In such switches, the #epistatic interactions between largely independent synthetic #allosteric sites result in an OFF state with minimal background noise."
Asking “should we de-bias” or “how do we de-bias” presumes that the problem is bias: that AI is needed in a domain, but simply needs some technical tweaks.
Digitalization, moreover, aggravated the positions of users: on the one hand, algorithmic “black box” made users powerless in terms of technical knowledge; on the other hand, every new (kind of) user became a sort of quality assurance acting secretly both for developers and users themselves.
I already talked a few weeks ago about a #startup that wanted to predict #autism through #voice (all based on very shaky scientific publications)

Well, yesterday they went a step further in European #DataColonialism and signed an agreement with the autism society of #Peru.
These agreements are disgusting. Not only is it about getting data in a simpler way than in Europe, but it is also done with a fictitious scientific background.
More and more are aware that data are manipulated, fuelled by subliminal behavioural interventions and filtered through algorithms.
When working with models, the emphasis is usually on the model-as-object, like an oracle to ask questions. It might be better to focus on model-as-process.
Our new special report presents the results of a bioethical investigation into chimeric research, which involves the insertion of human cells into nonhuman animals. Rapid scientific developments in this field could lead to new therapies for humans. They also reveal the limitations of existing ethics guidance for human-nonhuman chimeric research. With researchers from Case Western. Funded by NIH. #ethics #chimeric #research #bioethics #stemcells #animalresearch #chimeras
Human chimeras (where multiple fertilized eggs merge into one) may be more common than previously thought, DNA testing suggests. https://www.grid.news/story/science/2022/11/25/dna-showed-a-mother-was-also-her-daughters-uncle-how-scientists-solved-this-medical-mystery/ #chimeras
posthuman folklore should be seen as part of the zeitgeist of the Anthropocene.
The idea of listening to other voices, both non-human living forms and non-living artificial forms, are increasingly viewed as a fundamentally necessary step to create a sustainable earth.
BINGO!
Posthuman Folklore is the theoretical perspective that folklore —defined here as socially shared aesthetic traditions— are not unique to humans.
The possibility of connecting to machinic perception through the consciousness-informing structures of language implies that these engagements can have profound effects on our understanding of reality.
#chimeras, the book I'm #reading, is also available (for free) as PDF.
Good, coz carrying a physical book around is cumbersome. Reading, yeah, it's better. but carrying it, nope.
