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
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.

Every day we inch closer to a line the universe will retaliate against us for crossing.
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.
Yay, torment nexus, and if it isn’t yet, it will be soon.
first hello world will be ‘kill me’ for this poor thing
The only argument I have to support this is that they only live 30 days and arent developed enough for consciousness. But thats pretty weak considering they will obviously get better and cross the line thats acceptable. So yeah lets not go down this line of research.
Ah these guys. Weren’t they the ones using electo shock therapy on their “organoids” to “teach” (force) them to play Doom?

And didn’t said organoids mysteriously “fire” the moment someone walked into the lab?
Nah, it’ll be fine.
Hey, here’s a cool idea. Why not take “samples” from “neurodivergent” children (let’s say… 500cm^3), finely sliced, and bathe them in Adderal, Dr Fucking Mengele. Just think how “on task” the compute will be!
In fairness, the ScienceAlert piece notes that if any start to show signs of consciousness, they will consider shutting the project down.
Which is reassuring in the way that a fire extinguisher on a rocket is reassuring.
PS: sorry if I was unclear. STOP FUCKING CREATING BRAINS IN A VAT, YOU FUCKING MONSTERS.
“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.
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.
You sure we haven’t been already?
Ah. This is a simulation.
We must have done something heinous in “the real.”
I’m sure it’s been going on for a while at this point
Don’t be fooled. They are illithids in disguise.
I was there. They let me take a picture of the tech.
Dear humanity,
Consider maybe not.
Thanks,
-A HumanLovely. Man-made horrors beyond our comprehension.
I think that’s true in a very literal sense
Looks like “mars express” is becoming real.
I’m sure people will approach this news story in a sane and well-reasoned manner.
