The future of mankind - #AI meets genetic engineering
Long forgotten but still considered a milestone in sci-fi history - #Battlestar #Galactica remake from 2004 to 2009.
Humans are manufactured in giant factories as perfect genetic copies: the #cylons. 12 models have been designed: 6 male and 6 female models (we are back 20 years from today). They built giant spaceships and start a war against mankind.
Starring James Edward Olmos, Jamie Bamber, Kathie Sackhof et.al.

Good look at a bad problem. The author is a friend from grad schol at the #University of #Colorado, where she was a faculty member when I was a grad student. She’s since gone on to bigger and better things, and I’ve gone on to … well, things.
Anyway. I’ve never been particularly worried about #Cylons, #Skynet, etc. Humans doing stupid human tricks, and using #AI to do them much faster, OTOH, yeah.
The internet community of anti-science #cranks is an example of #model #collapse happening at human speed. #Antivaxers, #creationists, #climate change #deniers et al. prey on people with legitimate questions about some particular aspect of the broad #consensus. Those people often go down an increasingly loony rabbit hole, and end up propagating the absurdity, sometimes adding their own bizarre spin which their new-found colleagues happily add to the ideology.
If this becomes part of the #academic ecosystem, with AI reviewers approving AI-generated #papers and no human checks on the process, the scholarly corpus will become hopelessly contaminated. I have no idea what to do about that.

@BarbChamberlain Now I'm going to have to find time to watch this. Gave up during season 2 when it first came out #Battlestar #BattlestarGalactica #SF #SciFi #TV #war #ClimateAction #Earth #Cylons

Finally watching "Battlestar Galactica" long after the remake wrapped up. In S4 and I say, "Watch when they find out that the Earthlings burned up their planet and killed themselves."
