World's first 'body in a box' biological computer uses human brain cells with silicon-based computing
[Kunal Khullar at Tom's Hardware]
Straight into my nightmares:
"Australian biotech company Cortical Labs has introduced what it claims to be "the world’s first code deployable biological computer," which combines human brain cells with traditional silicon-based computing. The system, known as CL1, was presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and is being explored for its potential applications in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning."
Oddly, while it theoretically is suited for certain kinds of novel computing tasks, it just screams and screams.
