Singularity.

After Maas Biolabs invents the biochip, people will start to speak of When It Changed.

DNA-based computing: not a new idea

[Lockbox]

TransHuman? No, I prefer to be known as TransComputer …..

[The Duke]

Why am I thinking “bubble memory”? There are more interesting memory technologies on the horizon.

“DNA-based computing: not a new idea”

Depends on how you define new. I remember reading about this in the 70s, but it was not reality until the 90s

maybe in “omni” or “playboy” or who knows Amazing Stories, or maybe ironically “Analog”?

[Ciaphas Cain]

I see what you did there. Read those books in high school.

WHAT THE????????

[indthkr]

I'm pretty sure Los Alamos Labs has been working on this for years.

I seem to remember them reporting some result via EE Times back in the late 80's / early 90's, during an earlier AI Craze that we are now re-living.

[Rembrandt]

If it ever becomes available, I recommend they pass on the use of Biden DNA when making more chips.

Transam?

[BenLurkin]

Mad scientists ping.

Isolinear chips! Right out of Star Trek.

[Conan the Librarian]

DAYSTROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alexander_busek]

Daystrom

Yeah, imagine using Dr. Richard Daystrom's memory engrams combined with DNA recovered from Monica's infamous "Blue Dress!"

You'd have the "Ultimate Computer!"

Great. Now the computer can really have a virus. You’ll have to separate the compter chips 6 feet apart and have them wear tiny masks and get the vax.

[Jimmy Valentine]

And now it’s starting to get scary.
