A speculative future of bio-computation
AryHHAry · x · 2026-07-20
This thread speculates about a future where computation blends with biology:
- DNA could be used as model storage.
- Bioreactors could act as compute units.
- Hybrid silicon-bio systems could handle inference.
It pushes the idea that computation may become physically intertwined with natural biological processes, to the point where even “paying with leaves” could become a literal economic mechanism rather than a joke.
