Fringy Mini: Braaaaaaaaaa AI iiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnssssssssssss

This week on Journey to the Fringe, We're lookig, ever so breifly (and spookily) at a terrifying piece of real-world tech news just in time for Halloween: biological data centers. Traditional silicon chips are out, and human neurons are in. We dive into the National University of Singapore's newest facility, where computers are powered by hundreds of thousands of living, lab-grown brain cells fed on a life-support cocktail of sugar and micronutrients. While the tech world praises the low energy consumption, we are asking the important questions. Are we inching closer to a Soylent Green reality? Will these "zombie data centers" end up haunted by the human cells powering them? Tune in as we break down the eerie reality of biological computing, flesh-and-blood servers, and the paranormal implications of the ultimate ghost in the machine. https://www.pressreader.com/singapore/the-straits-times/20260816/281608132264471 Have an idea for an episode or a question?
