So I was digging around today and found something pretty wild – think the beginning of Skynet!
Apparently researchers are already building processors made out of cells. Not chips. Cells.
They’re calling it “biocomputing” using lab-grown neurons and synthetic tissue to run calculations the way silicon used to. The idea is that when Moore’s Law finally dies, they’ll just… grow the next generation.
Think about what that means: self-repairing machines, hardware that evolves instead of being replaced, data centres that could technically be alive.
If it’s already on public research papers, imagine what’s sitting in defence or pharma labs. DARPA’s been playing with brain-interface stuff for years; this feels like the next logical step computing that’s half organism, half code. What happens when the thing doing the calculations can also adapt?
and, if its alive then that means you cant turn it off? Terminator just got a step closer…

You can buy one, this has been around for a while. They live for like 6 months
Yeah I called this as soon as I saw they made a computer chip using tortured electroshocked braincells
It’s not as fast as photonic gates. Somewhat limited applications.
Also a bit of a problem if the cells involved go cancerous.
> So apparently future processors are going to be made of living cells
They’re currently called humans. Who knows what they’ll call them in the future, but I’m willing to bet they’ll describe it as ‘human evolution’.
Run like your life depends on it from their transhumanist objectives.
you are the battery..
