Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #wetware, aggregated by home.social.

  1. @Johanna, CanCon variety True about #wetware being the issue.
    I think I might approach it with “buy local, host local“ angle.
  2. @christopher the tech for groups exists. Lack of such is not the barrier to adoption.

    You have to reach the *community* that needs a "group" digital forum tool that suits their purposes, and convince them your thing is better than the thing they have.

    it's always the #wetware that's hard.

  3. Rogue AI agents - or just poor judgement/lack of diligence by the WetWare???

    We can expect more of these type situations as AI Agents are unleashed inside of corporations large and small. And we can expect corporations to try to bury reports of incidents like this! techcrunch.com/2026/03/18/meta #AI #Agents #RogueAgents #WetWare #Moltbook #OpenClaw #AgenticAI #Meta #ChatBots

  13. 🧠 I love when people move Doom on to unique platforms. But a hybrid control loop using living tissue as a probabilistic learning substrate inside a highly mediated computational scaffold. That's not a new computer. Yet. What it is a research platform with philosophical and ethical weight far heavier than the video suggests. I will wipe such ethical considerations aside when brain cells play Quake Arena.

    The computers that run on human brain cells

    Move over silicon: scientists want to use neurons to make powerful computers with minuscule energy needs.

    By David Adam

    Illustration by Paweł Mildner

    In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a grain of sand, can receive electrical signals and respond to them — much as computers do. Research teams from around the world can send the blobs tasks, in the hope that they will process the information and send a signal back.

    Welcome to the world of wetware, or biocomputers. In a handful of academic laboratories and companies, researchers are growing human neurons and trying to turn them into functional systems equivalent to biological transistors. These networks of neurons, they argue, could one day offer the power of a supercomputer without the outsized power consumption. Can lab-grown brains become conscious?

    The results so far are limited. But keen scientists are already buying or borrowing online access to these brain-cell processors — or even investing tens of thousands of dollars to secure their own models.

    Some want to use these biocomputers as straightforward replacements for ordinary computers, whereas others want to use them to study how brains work. “Trying to understand biological intelligence is a very interesting scientific problem,” says Benjamin Ward-Cherrier, a robotics researcher at the University of Bristol, UK, who rents time on the Swiss brain blobs. “And looking at it from the bottom up — with simple small versions of our brain and building those up — I think is a better way of doing it than top down.”

  37. [Перевод] Учёные выращивают миниатюрные человеческие мозги и делают из них компьютеры

    Возможно, это немного похоже на научную фантастику, но небольшая группа исследователей добивается реальных успехов в попытках создать компьютеры из живых клеток. Добро пожаловать в странный мир биовычислений. Среди лидеров в этой области — группа учёных из Швейцарии, с которыми я встретилась. Они надеются, что однажды мы увидим центры обработки данных, заполненные «живыми» серверами, которые будут копировать аспекты обучения искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) и потреблять лишь небольшую часть энергии, по сравнению с существующими сегодня. Такова концепция доктора Фреда Джордана, соучредителя лаборатории FinalSpark, которую я посетила. Мы все привыкли к понятиям «аппаратное обеспечение» и «программное обеспечение» в компьютерах, которые мы используем в настоящее время. Доктор Джордан и другие специалисты в этой области используют для обозначения того, что они создают, несколько удивительный термин «wetware» («мокрое обеспечение»).
