Three words: "desktop gene sequencing", "ebola", "script kiddies".
I dunno how to fix it either.

This is a problem for the future to solve. Not us. In bioweapons, I think we are still on the "happy hackers era", where people in a biochemical laboratory in Liverpool have access to some fungus that can wipe half the city, but don't do, because have a lot of fun studying the fungus to learn new antibiotics, or maybe to cure baldness. Scientist are, of course, hackers. Fun people that make this question: Exploitability. Can this fungus be used to cure baldness? Can this fungus be exploited to remove plastic from our oceans?. Exploitablity is a fun good word, and I never see a person like Bruce Schneier talk about it (how fucking awesome is exploitability). So reading people like Bruce Schneier you only get half the picture. We exist only because the carbon based chemistry is exploitable to the x900000. If carbon where less exploitable, like silice, maybe life will not exist. Similary, maybe you need exploitability to have a internet. -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje.
