‘What is the dispute between the Pentagon and Anthropic?
Anthropic wanted the military to promise that it would not use its AI model, Claude, in weapons that can identify and fire on targets without human input — commonly referred to as “fully autonomous weapons.” The company also sought to prohibit the use of Claude to spy on Americans, particularly by analyzing location records, financial information, and other large datasets that the military has purchased on the commercial market.’

Information Technology is always used as an argument for progress, but isn’t that just a cover for the fascists’ arm races? All we get are endless wars to protect the nonrenewable interests of its corporate sovereignty! #FascistTechnology #CorporateSovereignty #SustainableTechnology #DiverseInterestsDemocraticRights

Neuromorphic computing, inspired by the structure of the brain, offers advantages in parallel processing, memory storage, and energy efficiency. However, current semiconductor-based neuromorphic chips require rare-earth materials and costly fabrication processes, whereas neural organoids need complex bioreactor maintenance. In this study, we explored shiitake (Lentinula edodes) fungi as a robust, sustainable alternative, exploiting its adaptive electrical signaling, which is akin to neuronal spiking. We demonstrate fungal computing via mycelial networks interfaced with electrodes, showing that fungal memristors can be grown, trained, and preserved through dehydration, retaining functionality at frequencies up to 5.85 kHz, with an accuracy of 90 ± 1%. Notably, shiitake has exhibited radiation resistance, suggesting its viability for aerospace applications. Our findings show that fungal computers can provide scalable, eco-friendly platforms for neuromorphic tasks, bridging bioelectronics and unconventional computing.
