Biocomputers (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_computing) are an emergency technology where biological components are made to store and/or process information for computers. Biocomputers have been made in the past using brain cells (https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6573-brain-cells-in-a-dish-fly-fighter-plane/) however keeping brain cells alive is both difficult and expensive. Other approaches are currently being tried using fungi and bacteria.

There are also approaches in synthetic biology that would use individual biological molecules for computing.

So my question to you /cyb/ is how will these devices change the world of computing?
/cyb/ - Cyberpunk Fiction and Fact
Cyberpunk is the idea that technology will condemn us to a future of totalitarian nightmares here you can discuss recent events and how technology has been used to facilitate greater control by the elites, or works of fiction

No way fag.
Look at the size of a forest with mushrooms.
Look at the size of a bitcoin mining rig.
Scale up to match the forest.

The human brain is both more powerful than any computer on the planet and consumes less energy. Organic material absolutely has the potential to out-compute silicon transistors.

This is the third biocomputer this year to make headlines. Seems there is a lot of interest in biocompting right now.

>“Next steps will be to improve the programmability of our biocomputer, so that we can solve multiple problems on one device,” added Zorlutuna.
What a shameless grifter and con man.

An electro-chemical reaction is not a computer and tweaking that reaction is not the software.
That cretin is using the 'computer' label while calling his contact in the judenpresse to facilitate more shekels and a steady incoming.
