IBM OpenZika Project and Mosquito Release Programs
IBM has launched the "OpenZika" project, encouraging users to download an app that uses their phone's processing power for research. The hosts compare this to the "SETI@home" project and express skepticism, suggesting it could be a conduit for malware or hidden cryptocurrency mining. They also mention Bill Gates-funded programs that release bacteria-infected mosquitoes into the wild.
