That's brilliant if they can pull it off. First it was carvings in stone. Then audio in wax cylinders. Then audio and data in grains of rust. Then in silicon. In the future: biologically.
But why do you make a paranoid connection to human DNA? DNA is in all living things on this planet. With the potential storage capacity (Using DNA to archive data is an attractive possibility because it is extremely dense- up to about 1 exabyte per cubic millimeter- and durable - half-life of over 500 years), a single block of wood could probably house more data than every home PC on the planet, combined.
In your fantasy, what is the benefit of storing it in a human that will be dead and buried in a few decades?
It’s not my fantasy, it’s the transhumanist fantasy of madmen to control the human form. A cell is already a small robot powered by DNA coding. People allowing experimental genetic technology into them by evil corporations is asking for disaster. What could ever go wrong with big tech and scientism playing with our genetics?
The same people who figure out the most cost efficient way to kill you and control you want into your gene coding. Like imagine if Jeffrey Dahmer ran a biotech company.
