I know about the recent stuff using DNA as a storage medium. I am interested in writing a story where humans have mastered everything Evolution has to offer; a time when technology is completely integrated into a vivarium/Bioregenerative Life Support System like ecosystem on multiple levels.

I’m looking for references to better speculate about organic compute as a complete replacement for silicon in a very distant future.

    Mine works too. You just need a few data centers of rapidly bred and killed animals (or people) that live and reproduce or die based on how well and quickly they respond to the desired stimulus.
    Think millions of rats looking at tiny pieces of a larger problem.

      Hello_there Stephen King! /s

      I’ve been reading a few papers and books by Asimov on archive all afternoon. About an hour ago I came across a piece he wrote up about learned behavior transfer via RNA. The study started by using learned behavior in worms that were chopped up, fed to the next generation and showed learned skills transfer. In truth, only faster learning rates IIRC.

      I think that would fit well into your dystopian Machine Animal-Farm Learning AI algorithm.

        Ooh. Yeah. Except do it more body horror. Digital brain signals wired into vat quick-grown specimens
