A Biological Data Centre represents a new generation of computing infrastructure. Instead of relying solely on conventional silicon chips, it uses “wetware” — living biological neurons derived from stem cells — to process information and support AI systems. In contrast to traditional data centres, which depend on energy-intensive servers, biological computing offers the potential for significantly greater efficiency by harnessing brain-like organoids that can operate using only a fraction of the power required by digital computers.
Uh oh
woopsie
I was there. They let me take a picture of the tech.

“if they show signs of consciousness we’ll shut it down” is so absolutely batshit especially when you consider people like me learned while in school that fish don’t feel any pain.
We were extremely confidently incorrect about that one…
This is fucking abhorrent.
They were also engineered to be deficient in a protein that’s essential for the normal function of neurons.
Given the careful engineering of the organoids to inhibit normal function, the researchers are not worried at this stage. However, if any start to show signs of consciousness, they will consider shutting the project down.
Making them stupid so they don’t appear “human”
Heh the angel of death got to live out a full life. I mentioned this in another post; don’t be surprised if your brain gets cross sectioned and scanned before being cremated.

I’m sure it’s been going on for a while at this point
Yup, I ain’t donating none of my DNA, stem cells or nothing. Sorry organ receiver, I don’t want clones of me being used in endless hellish torment after I’m gone. Burn every trace of my existence, thanks. Gonna live like Jerome in Gataca, with a little vacuum cleaner to clean up after my skin cells.
Imagine this company landed the 23 and me database which was sold at open auction?
Lovely. Man-made horrors beyond our comprehension.
This research will be funding Chairs at university Ethics departments for decades to come.
Yay, torment nexus, and if it isn’t yet, it will be soon.
Behold, the incredibly efficient human. It eats garbage, live about 80 years, adapts to any fucking environment….
Yea but it’s just not expensive enough.
You forgot: can be mass produced using unskilled labour
Oh so they are aiming for that evangelion shit . Cool cool cool Cool cool cool Cool cool cool
This was signed off by an ethics review board…
In the grimdark present of humanity…
One day, we will look back to the time when people were allowed to die with tired unblinking eyes.
yo hold up, wetware is an actual thing? Since fucking when?
This is the worst fucking idea I’ve ever heard. Please don’t create the Mother Brain and hook it up to the internet.
Also: Does it count as AGI if it’s just a gigantic human brain?
Honestly though, let’s just do it. The world is gonna end no matter what we do at this point, at least this finale is interesting.
I was bullshitting with my friends one night talking about nonsense like how we would die. One of the friends pipes up and says if they got cancer or something horrible that they would try and take out as many people as possible. I asked them what they meant and they said they would steal a bus and run over a bunch of people. I was stunned and asked why and they said they wouldn’t go out like a bitch.
No offense but your friend sounds like a bitch.
Like if I said “yeah no I’m really tough I can punch a baby” I would be a pussy 110%. Like no shit you could punch a baby, they are like cannocially helpless. Fight a boxer or something smh
I never looked at them the same again. It was a chick to.
