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.
Oh so they are aiming for that evangelion shit . Cool cool cool Cool cool cool Cool cool cool
the star trek repair station, it abduct aliens and uses brains of humans to power its AI.
hmm, I should watch that again.
xfiles?
Dollhouse
They should use the neurons of the tech oligarchs if they’re so smart.
They’ll have to add ketamine to the bionutrient slurry.
That’s my breakfast smoothie.
a meal for a champ!
they will soon to use real human brains eventually.
Soon? Human brains power this simulation
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.
You should sow some better targets into your friends subconscious. Get them mad at someone other than their fellow workers.

This was signed off by an ethics review board…
As grim as it sounds, this is probably just a grift. It sounds like they’re using stem cells as wires, and they’ll die eventually. There’s some ai word salad in the article too.
This is definitely a grift.
it uses “wetware” … to process information and support “AI” systems
Most importantly, “AI” doesn’t exist. Secondly there is absolutely zero “AI” technologies that need “support” from these petri dishes.
the technology could complement AI
Hmmm… Later in the article it changes from “it uses to support AI” to “it could complement AI”. Curious.
Actually the first quote from OP isn’t even in the article. Did they update it because it’s fake?
New grift just dropped
This research will be funding Chairs at university Ethics departments for decades to come.
Uh oh
This will in no way come back to “haunt” us…
woopsie
I’m sure “mn” means “mamoneters.”
(the correct abbreviation is MM, a la Roman numeral M for 1000. Mil Mil, or, 1000x1000.)
I think they were trying to abbreviate million
Which is why I provided the correct way to do so.
Which also says that mn is common…
Sush, don’t argue with the fun police.
Because I was wrong?
What interface are you using that has user tagging on .world?
Aww yeah, screaming datacenter timeline unlocked.
I reject the notion of calling this a data center. A single rack with 20 little pods is not a data center.
They just want to be a data center, because data centers are currently on investor minds.
Lovely. Man-made horrors beyond our comprehension.
I think that’s true in a very literal sense
