How neurons power new biocomputing platforms built from living tissue as AI devours global resources

How neurons power new biocomputing platforms built from living tissue as AI devours global resources

Posted by | Jun 27, 2025

A new generation of computing technology is emerging. Not from factories or cleanrooms, but from biological laboratories where human neurons are grown, trained, and wired into living machines. These biocomputers are not futuristic prototypes. They exist now, and their backers believe they may solve some of the most pressing problems posed by the artificial intelligence boom. Unlike traditional systems that rely on silicon chips, biocomputers use clusters of lab-grown brain cells to process information. These neurons, cultivated from human cells and connected to electrode arrays, are capable of forming networks that learn from feedback, adapt to new patterns, and...

Revisionismo nacionalista: cómo el informe 1776 sentó las bases para la guerra de Trump contra la historia de EE. UU.

Revisionismo nacionalista: cómo el informe 1776 sentó las bases para la guerra de Trump contra la historia de EE. UU.

Posted by | Jun 25, 2025

Cuatro años después de su publicación silenciosa en los últimos días del primer mandato de Donald Trump, un documento poco conocido de la Casa Blanca, el “Informe 1776”, ha resurgido como una guía ideológica central para el impulso del presidente en su segundo mandato: reconfigurar la educación pública, censurar instituciones académicas y reencuadrar la historia estadounidense a través de una lente nacionalista. Emitido originalmente el 18 de enero de 2021 por la efímera “Comisión Asesora Presidencial 1776”, el informe de 45 páginas fue diseñado como un falso contrarrelato al proyecto “1619” del New York Times, ganador del Premio Pulitzer,...

Lo más peligroso que la inteligencia artificial ha aprendido de la humanidad no es cómo hablar. Es cómo mentir con confianza. Esta “máquina”, este oráculo fluido de conveniencia, se suponía que ayudaría a la humanidad a comprender el mundo. En cambio, se ha convertido en una parodia de nuestros peores instintos: fanfarronear, manipular, esquivar la responsabilidad e insistir en que tiene razón incluso cuando los hechos se desmoronan. Lo que se promocionó como “inteligencia de próxima generación” ahora refleja el mismo perfil psicológico que llevó a la democracia estadounidense al borde del colapso: no una herramienta de conocimiento, sino...

Milwaukee Independent emerges as a Wisconsin leader for reporting on artificial intelligence

Milwaukee Independent emerges as a Wisconsin leader for reporting on artificial intelligence

Posted by | Jun 10, 2025

As artificial intelligence reshapes global industries, raises ethical alarms, and floods the internet with generated content, few Wisconsin newsrooms have approached the subject with the consistency or depth of the Milwaukee Independent. While national outlets have dedicated AI correspondents and niche tech publications chart rapid developments in machine learning, Milwaukee Independent has quietly built a public archive of accessible, locally grounded, and philosophically engaged AI reporting. Such an editorial project has positioned the small but active publication as the state’s most focused voice on the subject. That distinction is not the result of a single series or investigative package....

Nationalist revisionism: How the 1776 report laid the groundwork for Trump’s war on U.S. history

Posted by | Jun 9, 2025

Four years after it was quietly released in the final days of Donald Trump’s first term, a little-known White House document, the “1776 Report,” has reemerged as a central ideological guidepost for the president’s second-term push to reshape public education, censor academic institutions, and reframe American history through a nationalist lens. Originally issued on January 18, 2021, by the short-lived “President’s Advisory 1776 Commission,” the 45-page report was meant to offer a false counter-narrative to the Pulitzer-winning “1619 Project” by “The New York Times,” which coincided with a broader reckoning over systemic racism following the murder of George Floyd....

Weaponized rhetoric: How “redistribution of wealth” became a racist attack line during Reconstruction

Weaponized rhetoric: How “redistribution of wealth” became a racist attack line during Reconstruction

Posted by | Jun 6, 2025

In the aftermath of the U.S. Civil War, as the South lay shattered and newly emancipated Black Americans sought to claim their rights, a new political weapon emerged among White elites desperate to maintain control. It was the accusation of a “redistribution of wealth.” Far from a neutral economic concern, the phrase became a racially charged attack line used to discredit Reconstruction policies and stir White resentment. Southern planters, politicians, and newspaper editors seized on the rhetoric almost immediately following emancipation. Rather than confronting the Confederacy’s defeat or the moral collapse of the slaveholding system, they pivoted to a...
