You can now rent a hybrid computer made with 800,000 human brain cells for $300/week. That's cheaper than most consultants and probably gives better advice too! 🧠💻

Uses 1000x less energy than AI centers while outperforming equivalent algorithms. The future of computing is literally thinking outside the silicon box.

🧠 Fascynujący przełom w biokomputacji!
Final Spark buduje procesory z żywych ludzkich neuronów. Te organoidy mózgowe:

Zużywają 1/1000000 energii zwykłych procesorów
Uczą się poprzez dopaminę
Mogą żyć do 3 lat
Sterują wirtualnym motylem poprzez "myśli"
Biologiczne procesory mogą zrewolucjonizować AI i drastycznie zmniejszyć jej ślad węglowy.

"In a development straight out of science fiction, Australian startup Cortical Labs has released what it calls the world’s first code-deployable biological computer. The CL1, which debuted in March, fuses human brain cells on a silicon chip to process information via sub-millisecond electrical feedback loops.

Designed as a tool for neuroscience and biotech research, the CL1 offers a new way to study how brain cells process and react to stimuli. Unlike conventional silicon-based systems, the hybrid platform uses live human neurons capable of adapting, learning, and responding to external inputs in real time.

“On one view, [the CL1] could be regarded as the first commercially available biomimetic computer, the ultimate in neuromorphic computing that uses real neurons,” says theoretical neuroscientist Karl Friston of University College London. “However, the real gift of this technology is not to computer science. Rather, it’s an enabling technology that allows scientists to perform experiments on a little synthetic brain.”"

A Minimal Genetic Circuit for Cellular Anticipation

Living systems have evolved cognitive complexity to reduce environmental uncertainty, enabling them to predict and prepare for future conditions. Anticipation, distinct from simple prediction, involves active adaptation before an event occurs and is a key feature of both neural and non-neural biological agents. Recent work by Steven Frank proposed a minimal anticipatory mechanism based on the moving average convergence-divergence principle from financial markets. Here, we implement this principle using synthetic biology to design and evaluate minimal genetic circuits capable of anticipating environmental trends. Through deterministic and stochastic analyses, we demonstrate that these motifs achieve robust anticipatory responses under a wide range of conditions. Our findings suggest that simple genetic circuits could be naturally exploited by cells to prepare for future events, providing a foundation for engineering predictive biological systems. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
