Meanwhile, this from Jurist Legal Affairs website, September 9th, UN Human Rights Chief warns advanced AI may pose an existential risk to humanity.

Last month, the National University of Singapore unveiled a biological data center, quote, unquote, combining living human neurons derived from stem cells.

with silicon circuitry to process information.

According to Public Radio International, the prototype is part of the emerging field of biological computing, which explores whether living neural networks can perform computational tasks more efficiently than conventional systems, quote-unquote.

This, of course, is the neural digital interface that we've been warning of, also seen in Elon Musk's Neuralink technology, portending the actual abolition of human freedom and ultimately abolishing of humanity itself, with manipulation of our thoughts and emotions right down at the neural level, making today's totalizing propaganda a mere blunt instrument in comparison, ultimately portending the replacement of the human species itself with a conditioned post-humanity stripped of all autonomy and dignity."
