GMO KILL SWITCH. “Recent progress in GM technology has seen scientists engineer “kill switches” that are designed to act as an emergency stop mechanism for GMOs. These are pieces of inserted genetic code that create characteristics intended to prevent a GMO from surviving and reproducing if they “escape” from a contained site, such as a field of GM crops, into the wild.” https://theconversation.com/kill-switches-could-make-genetically-modified-food-more-palatable-51941 View in LinkedIn

AI READING LIST. “The tech world’s book-nerd-in-chief wants you to add two books to your list of summer science reads. To get up to speed on artificial intelligence, Microsoft cofounder and philanthropist Bill Gates recommends Nick Bostrom’s Superintelligence and Pedro Domingos’s The Master Algorithm.” http://qz.com/698334/bill-gates-says-these-are-the-two-books-we-should-all-read-to-understand-ai/ View in LinkedIn

THE NATURAL LIMITS. “The signal shift in the development of the digital culture is the loss of physical laws as the conclusive arbiter of action. Physical and natural laws have generally governed what was possible, and so provided limits to everything from politics to property. Hence the notion of a "reality check." https://lnkd.in/dJTgZH3 View in LinkedIn

GLOBAL FUTURE. "The conference, which is the brainchild of Russian multimillionaire Dmitry Itskov, fell somewhere between hardcore science and science fiction. It featured a diverse cast of speakers, from scientific luminaries like Ray Kurzweil, Peter Diamandis and Marvin Minsky, to Swamis and other spiritual leaders."
