@Johanna, CanCon variety True about #wetware being the issue.
I think I might approach it with “buy local, host local“ angle. -
@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.

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! https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/18/meta-is-having-trouble-with-rogue-ai-agents/ #AI #Agents #RogueAgents #WetWare #Moltbook #OpenClaw #AgenticAI #Meta #ChatBots

So, it is true. We are NOT #hardware + #software, we ARE #Wetware
We are our brains, our wiring, our pathways. This is our soul.

If I am not mistaken…
The nice are getting nicer and the mean are getting meaner.
Please choose nice.

@Dhmspector @rudytheelder did not think the cyber future would be a mashup of #wetware #wetware and #lobsters

Hilarious observations on whatever the actual hell is going on with #MoltBook
Seriously, we’re somewhere in the middle chapters of #Wetware right now. It’s only a matter of time before the bots develop #moldies.
(Edit: and no, the “moldies” / “molties” similarity is not lost on me… wondering if Matt Schlicht is a @rudytheelder fan..? 🤔)

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 MildnerIn 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.”

[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»).

I dunno, I keep trying to build such an app inside my own #wetware noggin, where I take visual input into my oogly peepers then hear the translation as subvocalized muttering.
The translation model training is rudimentary, consumes glucose for power, only covers a few languages, and is motivated 100% by spite.

Biology should be conceptualized as hardware: in biological systems everything is based on the structure-function principles just like all purposefully human-made technological artifacts. #robotics #nanorobotics #biotechnology #proteins #wetware

I'm also seriously thinking about creating a wetware computer in my home. It would be a fungal computer that uses hyphae. I need to abstract the physical states of the fungal computer to create organism code. Then I need a compiler to translate higher level code into organism code for these wetware computers. #computing #computer #wetware

In fact, bioinformatics is concerned with something extremely tangible - the biomolecular systems - wetware - that makes up people's bodies. #bioinformatics #wetware

New season of #BlackMirror dropped recently and I just finished watching it.
Episode 4, PlayThings blew me away! I immediately watched it again.
Wow is it good - the best #scifi short I've seen in yeeears!

Where does #wetware belong if not in a swamp, I ask?
Crypto is officially (just by me, actually) the Mother of all Bubbles, and along with media-meme-stocks following into the stratosphere of psuedo-logic gone wild.
The universe of computation is about to broaden by scales, so hanging onto something locked into a figurative vestigiality shows a narrow common bandwidth.

Neuer Cloud-Computing-Begriff: „Wetware-as-a-Service"
Das Computersystem, bei dem menschliche Hirnzellen am Rechenprozess beteiligt sind, braucht entweder spätestens alle 6 Monate neue Zellen (so lange überleben die Zellen in der Nährlösung) oder man bucht Rechenzeit auf einem solchen System in der Cloud.

Svolta epocale o salto nel buio? Una startup svizzera annuncia il primo bioprocessore al mondo, basato su organoidi di cervello umano. Promesse di efficienza energetica straordinaria (il consumo è un milione di volte inferiore a quello dei chip tradizionali), ma anche interrogativi etici e di sicurezza tutti da esplorare.

I do not make your software.
I have spent many years in a few different contexts being the person who makes your software work for your users, though.

#TedSarandanos of #Netflix was 37 in 2001, which is barely outside the limit of #DouglasAdams’ age 15 to 35 defining the #neuroplasticity to engage with new #technology

Hi! My #introduction. I’m a #PhD with dual wet-lab & dry-lab skills in biochemistry and bioinformatics/genomics, currently in #SanDiego. I’m coming up on the end of my #postdoc in 6 months and am deeply considering my next steps. Am open to any career advice & informal chats, especially on the classic #industry vs #academia dilemma, and the less classic #wetware (#laboratory) vs #software dilemma. Feel free to reply, DM, or email at [email protected] , or of course, toot @photocyte !
