So, @_panthalassa operated mostly in secret for a decade. And what it built is nuts. Massive, massive floating data centers that drive themselves out to sea and then capture water inside of them to spin a turbine and power GPUs. Look at these things.

Shame on @23andMe . I tried to delete my data, entered a circular doom loop of notifications which included locking out of my account. This is not right. You MUST allow us to delete our data - PERIOD. Always - but particularly now that our data will be sold by a bankrupcy judge.
