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.

Anyone else read this:
Brain cells at work Traditional data centers rely on silicon processors and general-purpose Central Processing Units (CPUs). They typically use standard air cooling to handle cloud computing, web hosting, and database storage workloads.
Biological computing, in contrast, uses wetware to process data. This consists of living neurons grown from stem cells. The neurons are connected to computing hardware via microelectrode arrays. These let electrical signals pass between the biological cells and digital systems.
And wonder what they were trying to say or why they said it this way?
Here is the part in question:
They typically use standard air cooling to handle cloud computing, web hosting, and database storage workloads.
Biological computing, in contrast, uses wetware to process data.
Ok, AND? What does air cooling have to do with anything? Is wetware NON standard air cooling?
Either way, isnt this the section where you say Traditional Data Centers rely on electricity, and these rely on X, Y or Z? Nutrient baths? Sump pumps?
They copy-pasted part of the wikipedia to explain something they don’t really understand.
Yeah especially since wetware systems basically use their foodbaths to carry away heat. It’s not hard…but someone decided mentioning these things are “alive” might draw some ire
In the grimdark present of humanity…
We must sacrifice the newborns en masse!
The emperor protects
One day, we will look back to the time when people were allowed to die with tired unblinking eyes.
yo hold up, wetware is an actual thing? Since fucking when?
Quite some time now. Idk why they bother with making baby brains, when we have mostly functioning brains they can extract from us for cheap, to put into their kill and sex bots.
16 mano-neters?
So deeply unethical it’s unreal.
This was signed off by an ethics review board…
hooks it up to speakers
“ahhhAAAaahAhhh”
scientists: “hmm something must be bugged, let me fiddle with it some more”
Came here looking for a comment referencing Neelix cheese… And I’m disappointed. I expected more from y’all. Where’s my niche Star Trek Voyager reference?
They all died with Tuvix
harnessing brainlike organoids
that sounds dangerously close to being a human
Aww yeah, screaming datacenter timeline unlocked.
It’s ironic because no one can prove that our universe and existence there-in is not an identical hellscape used to power the ai of some larger more superior form of sentience.
Are you suggesting our universe is just slavery with extra steps?
I mean the best way to keep prisoners content is to never let them know they’re in a prison 🤷
Imagine our overlords’ amusement when they see us create a simulation to enslave ourselves within their own simulation.
Shut up and get on the gooble box
Cool. I wonder what the maintenance looks like for those, and programming.
If it’s anything like me, it only needs sugar water and potato chips.
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.
So how many neurons would it take to consider forcing Windows Server to run on the wetware a crime against humanity?
