We are the borg...!

Fascinating. I can't wait to see where this leads.

They feed it Bjork's DNA,it has a transcription error and becomes Borg DNA.

I, for one, welcome our new NUTM overlord (overlords?)!

Now if only we can get the equivalent of ECC for DNA, given DNA's susceptibility to copy errors, we'll be fine :P

If we had ECC for DNA, we would have cured cancer and ageing! ;)

It does - its only when it goes wonky we kind of get issues! Blasted ionising radiation and mutagens!

Given that those copy errors are responsible for evolution, I do wonder whether an AI can take advantage of that concept.
