Biocomputers and the Disintegration of Humanity
Human cell powered Artificial Intelligence. For the "greater good," of course!
Microprocessors will use DNA and peptide biomolecules, which will serve in the construction of nanocomputers, Jacques Attali.
The computer in its seminal conception is a replication by man of his own image. The observation of limited aspects of human operations was the creative stimuli for what would become known as a “computer.” In the mid-1800s, George Boole formulated a method of algebraic computation. His algebraic method would become the foundational binary system for all computers and electronic devices. The inspiration for this system was the human brain. Specifically, it was inspired by Mr. Boole's perception of the determining process that sorts “true” ideas from “false” ones. “Boole’s inspiration came from how he understood the brain to work. He imagined the laws of thought as being logical propositions that could take on true (1) or false (0) values. He expressed these laws mathematically, so they could perform arithmetic in a precise, systematic fashion.”1
John Vincent Atanasoff, often considered a “father of the modern computer,” settled on using the binary system in the late 1930s. This fundamental system has been used for computers ever since. His vision of the computer was the “first to implement 3 of the most important ideas used in computers now-days. The first and probably most important was using binary digits (1's and 0's) to represent all the numbers in a given data. The second was to perform all the calculations using electronics instead of mechanical switches and wheels. And the third was using the principle from the Von Neumann architecture where the memory and the computations were separate.”2
To this day, the continued study of the function of the human brain is a source of information for the computer sciences. “While neurons, or nerve cells, were discovered in the late 1800s, their impact on computing would occur only 100 years later. Scientists studying the computational behavior of brains began building decentralized processing models that relied on large amounts of data.”3
The modern computer is a fascinating work. To some degree, in it material man seeks to reflect himself most of all. According to most materialist ideologies, humanity is but a “Biological Machine” or “Computer.” This utilitarian view of humanity is re-imaged in the computer, all of the complexities of thought and life are distilled down to 1's and 0's. Although the structure of the brain differs greatly from that of the computer, the brain’s computational power is ever being investigated to advance technologies.
Today, the endeavor is fully underway to replicate the synaptic power of the brain. This achievement is viewed as vital to the evolution of “Artificial Intelligence.” A certain science article explains, “The synaptic transistor is engineered to replicate the brain’s ability to process and store information concurrently. Unlike traditional computers, where data shuttles between the processor and memory, consuming excessive energy and creating bottlenecks, this device integrates these functions … The creation of this synaptic transistor aligns with the growing need to rethink computing hardware, especially for AI and machine-learning applications … Hersam noted, “If AI is meant to mimic human thought, one of the lowest-level tasks would be to classify data, which is simply sorting into bins. Our goal is to advance AI technology in the direction of higher-level thinking.”4
The computer is an innovative tool of the modern age. Even though it is based on the materialist understanding of human operation, it is not de facto a “bad” thing. I am using a computer to post my articles, and do a variety of other things. You are using a computer to read this article, and most likely also do a variety of things with it. Very clearly, we would not have the “modern world” without the tool of the computer. Computer systems operate many of the modern utilities of life. Yet, when man ceases to be the master of his tools, then the problems begin. A segment of humanity seems eager to subject itself and everyone else to the dominion of the computer. In the computer, they envision a new order of humanity.
I ponder whether in the computer man finds a god-like stimulus. Man is creating something in his own “image.” He feels himself like God who created man in His Image. I become more convinced of this ideological premise of the computer as men continue to run headlong after the advancements of Artificial Intelligence. Yet, in the long run, humanity still makes nothing authentically new but rather replicates the patterns and God-created realities that exist all around it. Authentic creation in its loftiest reality still eludes him. The word “artificial” is critical to ponder. Even the “AI” robots are being made to look as humanoid as possible. AI is offered as a “companion” to people. AI can make a person appear totally different in the digital sphere. Modern man delights in creating artificial replicas of true life. For this, he thinks himself grand. I unpack this train of thought a little more in my article, “The Rise of the man-gods.”
If the pride of man were to stop there, this may be enough. Look at us we made “artificial intelligence”! Hurrah! Yet, the problem with men is our fallen pride seeks new territories. These territories enter the realm of the demonic.
The materialist man in an effort to glorify his creation, in turn, denigrates the original inspiration: humanity. I have written several articles addressing the goal and use of technology for control over other people, “Full-Spectrum Data Surveillance, Transhumanism, and the Religion of the End” and “Green Pass to the Abyss: Mass Surveillance and Technocratic Slavery.”
The boundaries of human pride are not content with the prospect of total manipulation and control. The materialist man begins to believe that authentic humanity is akin to his technological devices or even less. Thus, humanity like its handiwork, the computer, has no free will. Those who program will be the “gods.” The prototype of humanity, the original inspiration for the “computer,” must be offered on the altar of “science” to continue facilitating the expansion of “technology.” And so humanity becomes the futile slave to its “creation.”
AI has a gluttonous demand for enormous amounts of energy. Paradoxically enough, it is a terrible transgressor of the modern religious dogma of “carbon footprint.” Yet, it receives carte blanche absolution because of its imputed godlike status. For the “greater good” AI may have a massive “carbon footprint” (but you can't because you are just a minion). Transgress away, AI, because we are looking to you for salvation! The average training phase for AI consumes more energy than one typical household over a ten year period.5 So, the question perplexes material man, how to feed the energy abyss of our creation, AI?
One of the proposed options is biocomputing. I am still attempting to wrap my mind around what follows. It does indeed seem like something right out of the pages of a bizarre sci-fi novel. Biocomputing is not a futuristic fantasy but a current pursuit of the technological world. In basic, as I understand it, it is a hybridization of inanimate technological components with living biological components. The title of one article sums it up well, “These living computers are made from human neurons: in the search for less energy-hungry artificial intelligence, some scientists are exploring living computers.” 6 The technology integrates clusters of “lab-grown” cells called “organoids” to construct a computer architecture. A Swiss company called “FinalSpark” boasts a platform utilizing human-brain organoids. It is called “NeuroPlatform.” Human-derived neurons have a much greater energy efficiency.
Human tissues for neurological synapses are efficient beyond compare. Its almost like they were created that way, hmmmm.
These hailed “living computers” will be run by “genetic circuits” and “cellular computing.”7 One fancy title I encountered is, “biological neuromorphic computing.”
A rather formal explanation is given in these terms, Biocomputation aims to create sophisticated biological systems capable of addressing important problems in (bio)medicine with a machine-like precision. At present, computational gene networks engineered by single- or multi-layered assembly of DNA-, RNA- and protein-level gene switches have allowed bacterial or mammalian cells to perform various regulation logics of interest, including Boolean calculation or neural network–like computing.8 The same article goes on to explain, “Biological systems, including living organisms, tissues, and molecular networks, are inherently programmable since the way how cells are made is astonishingly similar to our common understanding of computer programs. While neural networks of natural biology have inspired computer scientists to successfully develop technologies (my emphasis added) that achieved the seemingly elusive goal of artificial intelligence (AI), computational core algorithms have always been popular metaphors for explaining the basic logics of gene expression in living systems. This has led to the foundation of modern synthetic biology, an engineering-driven discipline of biology with the vision to control cellular activities with a similar precision, reliability, and efficiency as with electronic computers, and to achieve the goal of custom-designing various therapeutic solutions just from scratch.”
Although certain fungi are in the mix as potential conductors in “biocomputing,” the favorite cellular conductors are clearly those derived from human cells. The primary candidate is “lab-grown human brain tissues.” The prophets of the emerging synthetic biocomputers proclaim, “The development of genetic circuits has been facilitated by advances in synthetic biology tools and techniques, including the design of new biological parts and the creation of standardized assembly methods. For example, the use of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology has enabled the precise modification of genomes, allowing for the introduction of new genetic elements and the control of gene expression.” It is interesting to note that CRISPR technologies are also being pursued in mRNA gene-therapy. The COVID injections are mRNA injections. During the past Covid madness, I was called a few different names for cautioning that a purpose of mRNA injections is gene editing. Please note that this scientific paper clearly states that this technology enables the “modification of genomes.” My conclusions are correct.
Using “organoids” to power AI promises to alleviate its transgressions in the realm of “carbon footprint.” Biocomputing greatly reduces the massive demands of energy to power AI. According to materialist doctrine, “carbon neutrality” is virtuous. Thus, the integration of human cells with computers is justified. As I've written before, the “Green Agenda” is more than willing to sacrifice human persons to fulfill its ideology.
The method of “training” the cells to perform the desired functions is questionable in and of itself, and I will not elaborate on it here, but it is not too far from electro-shock torture. The primary source of the extracted stem cells for making “organoids” is the human embryo. In the bizarre process of making “organoids,” mini lab-grown human brains are cultivated, grown, “trained” or maybe enslaved is a better term, and then destroyed when their worth is spent. As one article clearly states, “Scientists are using embryos of unborn children to create those brains.”9 Human sacrifice is interwoven in pagan practices. Today the “gods” are techno-energized.
Now to fuel our idol of AI, humanity is literally being offered on its altar. The dehumanizing, or better anti-human, reality of our insane obsession with technology becomes clear. To make our own “artificial creation” we are willing to mutilate and destroy authentic creation. For materialist man humanity is truly only a biological conglomeration of parts. These parts, they believe, may be freely used and integrated for the “advancement of technology.” The hypothetical “good” is always pushed forward as justification. The demonically dark methods are then sheltered from criticism. Just imagine the medical advancements! What you want people to die?! I don't think those devoid of moral respect for humanity are in any way truly concerned for its well-being. As with COVID, people’s natural concerns are manipulated by sinister elements to advance an even more sinister goal.
The devil seeks to defile and invert the things of God. The Lord Jesus died freely so that every human person might have the potential for true Life in Him. The devil also attempts to use death to give life, but such death is demonic and the “life” it brings will be terribly dehumanizing and destructive. Human sacrifice is the pervert mockery of offering death to bring life.
And so, humanity will sacrifice itself to its “creation.” “Organoid” powered AI is a dark road.
