🎉 Oh no, not the dreaded biological computing! Clearly, the keyboard warriors are quaking in their boots, fearing the rise of organ-powered #spreadsheets. But don’t worry; we’ve got 244 pages of #AI #doomsday prophecies to keep you entertained while you wait for your computer to sprout a spleen. 🤖🤦‍♂️

I'm Scared About Biological Computing

I’ve been in the AI space since ChatGPT first dropped. I’ve toyed around with a lot of Language Models, built random side projects, built a couple from scratch and I’ve spent hours looking at the math behind it all.

New data center will be partially powered by human brain cells for the first time

A startup is experimenting with data centers powered by lab-grown human neurons, testing whether living cells can offer a more efficient alternative to traditional computing.

Getting even remotely close to the power efficiency and compute density of biological brains would be a dramatic improvement over current computational hardware, so I'm glad this research direction is being explored.

Opens up some thorny ethical issues for sure, though.

Is the future of computing biological?

Human brains have a leg up on computers—so what’s the next logical step?
