Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. In this 8-episode series, we are exploring some new frontiers. New frontiers in new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running. Synthetic biology is a fascinating field that combines biology, engineering, and computer science to design and construct new biological systems. By manipulating and reprogramming the DNA of living organisms, scientists can create new functions and traits that do not occur naturally. It's like rewriting the instruction manual of life itself, similar to how we write computer code. In this video, you'll hear from three leaders in the synthetic biology industry—Drew Endy, John Cumbers, and Jennifer Holmgren—who will expand our understanding and imagination of this exciting field. Keep an eye out as we roll out the rest of these boundary-pushing episodes! ------

Google-Mitarbeiter Blake Lemoine wurde suspendiert, weil der Chatbot LaMDA aus seiner Sicht ein eigenes Bewusstsein entwickelt hat. Er fordert: LaMDA müsse weiteren Experimenten zuerst zustimmen. Das wirft weitreichende ethische Fragen auf, denn wenn Algorithmen leiden, folgt eine moralische Verpflichtung das zu unterbinden. Kognitionsforscher Thomas Metzinger führt ein in die Debatte und Literaturwissenschaftler Philipp Theison erklärt wie Science Fiction-Autoren hier schon viele Fälle durchgespielt haben.

Ultima puntata dell'anno e ultimo episodio dedicato a questa personale visione dei megatrend. Non parliamo di software o hardware, ma di WETware.

Biella explores biohacking - the hacking of the human body - and the different reasons why people are becoming cyborgs. She speaks with artist Moon Ribas about how tech can be used to push the boundaries of creative expression while putting humans in touch with the earth, and even the cosmos, and Winter Mraz an engineer who in the aftermath of a horrific car crash, used various implants to improve her body, and hack her way to an easier way to live with mental and physical disabilities.

Compute resources directly embedded in the body and available to the brain are the natural outcome of making technology smaller and more portable. The evolutions of prior generations of technologies lead Gartner Maverick research to imagine how technology will reframe ideas of being, working, and interacting as features and functions migrate to the least latency possible -- being part of the human brain.

In this episode, the crew talk about Rachel performing in the Old School Sketch Show and Frank's Marc Anthony virtual concert being ruined by streaming issues. On this week's BOCHINCHE BITES, Jaime dishes on A-ROD getting emo over his breakup with JLO and we play a game of "Who Will JLO Date Next?" On this week's Frankspiracy News, Frank discusses "Wetware" humans in the bio-tech world.

Modern best practices like Agile alone aren't enough to successfully modernize... Rather it's learning to navigate the “wetware” between the ears of ourselves and our co-workers. Entrepreneur Magazine contributor, Sid Kemp, explains through stories from history and experience.

SOS is joined by British music producer and sound artist Helm, who talks about how he found out about our show (he was an early patron of ours), being a free thinking musician in a deeply ideologically rigid culture, his career in music, and his refusal to let his music be politicized and his demand that his art be perceived as an aesthetic experience, not an ideological one. Beyond that, we poke at The Wire's Best of 2020 issue, and each of us talks about some of our favorite albums of the year (which can be selected below). Helm's Favorite Records of 2020: Wetware 'Flail' (https://wetware-nyc.bandcamp.com/album/flail) Private World 'Aleph' (https://privateworld.bandcamp.com/album/aleph) Oneohtrix Point Never 'Magic Oneohtrix Point Never' (https://oneohtrixpointnever.bandcamp.com/album/magic-oneohtrix-point-never) Rasberry Bulbs 'Before the Age of Mirrors' (https://raspberrybulbs.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-age-of-mirrors) Nazar 'Guerilla' (https://nazar.bandcamp.com/album/guerrilla) Ben's Favorite Records of 2020: Tigran Hamasyan  'The Call Within' (https://tigranhamasyan.bandcamp.com/album/the-call-within) William Basinski 'Lamentations' (https://williambasinski.bandcamp.com/album/lamentations) Nils Frahm 'Empty' (https://nilsfrahm.bandcamp.com/album/empty) Amulets 'Severed Teas' (https://amulets.bandcamp.com/album/severed-seas) Adam's Favorite Records of 2020: Duma 'Duma' (https://nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com/album/duma) Mosquitoes 'Minus Objects' (https://evernever-records.bandcamp.com/album/minus-objects) Komare 'The Sense of Hearing' (https://penultimatepress.bandcamp.com/album/the-sense-of-hearing-lp) KA 'Descendants of Cain' (https://brownsvilleka.com/collections/digital-downloads/products/descendants-of-cain) BONUS: Adam's full list of 2020 music recommendations can be found here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dSmAeJDnuR_dNfzi3Dnq2KTRv8g2TnOilk1RrnPYLg8/edit Links: Fact Mag interview with Helm: https://www.factmag.com/2015/06/20/helm-interview-olympic-mess-pan/ The Quietus reviews Helm's 'Chemical Flowers': https://thequietus.com/articles/26511-helm-chemical-flowers-review VICE interview with Helm: https://www.vice.com/en/article/wnn5qq/a-night-in-cairo-with-helms-luke-younger Helm's Radio Show: https://www.nts.live/shows/helm

Unsere erste Folge! In vielerlei Hinsicht auch eine Pilotfolge.Ute hat sich in Stuttgart mit Samuel Hof vom O-Team getroffen um über Unfälle, Mensch-Maschinen auf der Bühne und selbstfahrende Autos zu sprechen. Denn die beiden neuen Produktionen von O-Team, WETWARE und HARD DRIVE stehen ganz im Zeichen des CRASH.Aus dem Unfall wurde dann nach Fertigstellung des Podcasts leider ein realer Notfall: wegen Corona mussten alle Vorstellungen abgesagt und - so die Planung - in den Herbst 2020 verschoben werden. Mehr Zeit für euch, die erste Folge zu genießen und sich auf die Premiere bzw. weitere Folgen unseres Theaterpodcasts zu freuen. Sehr bald geht es weiter!

Defining himself as a curator interested in transgenre aesthetics and art and technology, art curator Jens Hauser engages a discussion with Danielle Aviles, student in biology; on the relationships between art and science. He defines what ‘Wetware’ - the title of the exhibition he curated with David Familian (2016) - is, as an extrapolation of softwares and hardwares, a convergence between technologies, or an evolution of mixed-media. With the rise of synthetic biology, the aim is to apply engineering principles to the biological realm and create aliveness from scratch. Do art and science deal with the same medium?

There was literally too much ground to cover with Peter Singer. He was one of these interviews where you just have to let him run because he has so much to say. His knowledge and experience are too wide to cover in a short hour, but here are some key takeaways that you will learn when you listen. Major Take-Aways From This Episode: He is not a doomsday figure, but one that seeks to find alternatives, explain, and develop context to the changes that are impacting our lives. He was on a research project that asked 60 people what are the 5 trends that are of the same magnitude the release of computer in 1980: Hardware – Robots, autonomous vehicles Software – IoT, Big Data, AI Waveware – Energy Sources, solar, lasers Hardware – Additive printing and manufacturing, 3d, bits to atoms Wetware – human performance enhancing technology Bio science is impacting technological breakthroughs faster than Moore’s law on the computer side. These breakthroughs are coming in endurance, cognition, concentration and will impact everything from classrooms to high performance executive functioning. The Biological Metaphor for Security is huge. I have been using it for a while to compare tech security to how nature secures herself from threats. What can we learn from nature in order to defend our systems: Nature has designed resilient systems; Nature has natural defenses all working in unison; Public and private sector interaction; No one action can do it all; Attitude of The British =  “Keep Calm and Carry On” I have linked up all the show notes on redzonetech.net/podcast where you can get access to Peter Singer’s books and publications. About Peter W. Singer: Peter Warren Singer is a Strategist and Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation, the author of multiple award-winning books, and a contributing editor at Popular Science. He has been named by the Smithsonian Institution-National Portrait Gallery as one of the 100 "leading innovators in the nation," by Defense News as one of the 100 most influential people in defense issues, by Onalytica social media data analysis as one of the ten most influential voices in the world on cybersecurity, and by Foreign Policy to their Top 100 Global Thinkers List, of the people whose ideas most influenced the world that year. Described in the Wall Street Journal as "the premier futurist in the national-security environment," Dr. Singer is considered one of the world's leading experts on changes in 21st century warfare. He has consulted for the US Military, Defense Intelligence Agency, and FBI, as well as advised a range of entertainment programs, including for Warner Brothers, Dreamworks, Universal, HBO, Discovery, History Channel, and the video game series Call of Duty, the best-selling entertainment project in history. He served as coordinator of the Obama-08 campaign's defense policy task force and was named by the President to the US Military's Transformation Advisory Group. He has provided commentary on security issues for nearly every major TV and radio outlet, including ABC, Al Jazeera, BBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, NPR, and the NBC Today Show. In addition to his work on conflict issues, Singer is a member of the State Department's Advisory Committee on International Communications and Information Policy. In the entertainment sector, he has received awards/support from the Tribeca Film Institute, Sloan Filmmakers Fund, Film Independent, and FAST Track at the L.A. Film Festival.

Architect Sean Lally of Weathers runs the podcast Night White Skies: "A podcast about architecture's future, as both Earth's environment and our human bodies are now open for design." The podcast is in its infancy, but Lally has already logged some really fascinating interviews with the likes of Timothy Morton, architect Mitchell Joachim, and architects/authors Geoffrey Thün & Kathy Velikov. Lally joins us on this week's show to talk about the podcasting+architecture game, and the architect's collaborative role in science and technology.

Chercheur en médecine, commissaire et critique d’art, Jens Hauser présente l’exposition ‘WetWare’ qu’il a organisé avec David Familian pour le Beall Center à UC Irvine. Rappelant les écrits de Chris Salter, il y fait l'état d’un basculement de l’art de la performance à la performativité s’enracinant dans la théorie du discours (langage), la théorie du genre (corps construits),  l’anthropologie (comme méthode d’inspection), et les sciences performatives (sociologie des sciences). Ces changements d'échelles, d’espaces, d'écologies resituent le corps sur un plan mésoscopique, a la fois objet et sujet, y compris dans le non-vivant. La microperformativité a pour but de relocaliser les actions ou fonctions à l'intérieur de ce corps afin d’aller au corps microscopique - séquences génétiques, molécules, organes...

Lone genius inventor The myth. Thomas Edison. Google. Boss guy taking credit. Standing on the shoulders of giants. Could the open source movement make great breakthroughs possible for small groups? Didn’t it already? Turing Test Commonly misunderstood. But the intelligence in this movie is way past that anyway. Testing for theory of mind might be the right track for the future. Personification of AI Being a cute, vulnerable girl AI goes a long way. Uncanny valley. Sexual attraction to non-human humanoid intelligences. AI Danger Fast/slow takeoff. AI will look back on us like pre-Sapiens fossils. It is not difficult to “escape the box.” If a person can do it, so can a superintelligence.

Bob from Minneapolis sent us some great feedback and a couple of great questions. In this post we are going to tackle communicating what scripts are available and what they do. I spend a lot of my time as a consultant writing up documentation. At most sites I am pretty sure the work is lost before I get out the door on my last day. So how did I try to handle this before as a Tech Lead? To be completely honest it always seems to be hit or miss. I have never found a single solution that works for all purposes and with all types of people. Let's face it we as WetWare are the most difficult to communicate with. Hardware wants power and bits to process. Software wants data and other inputs. But humans, a.k.a WetWare, all want something different. There are all kinds of factors from Gender to skill level to happiness with their current job that can affect and require different types of communications. Since we can't solve all of these problems, and at least one is unsolvable, we need to focus on what we can. Let's start with the one thing I know doesn't work and that is network file shares. It's been my experience that network file shares full of Word or Text documents are where good documentation goes to die. There is no automatic version tracking, you can never find a structure everyone will agree on, and unless you ingest it into a database somehow it's basically unsearchable. Since no one can ever find the document they are looking for or be sure it's the most current it quickly becomes a thing we do because Management says we have to not because we find it at all useful. Wiki's can work well and solve at least a few of these issues but they still aren't a cure all. They tend to be search-able and track versions. They still have the structure issue though. If Google has taught us nothing it is that we don't have to care how things are stored in the great database that is the Internet as long as it can be searched we can find anything. With that being said the structure is probably less of an issue with a Wiki because they are generally speaking searchable. So it's always going to stay on my list. There are so many options from your own version of the Wikipedia to all javascript single page solutions. It's still not perfect but it works better than a file share and generally looks better too. Version Control systems like Git believe it or not when combined with something like gitlabs, gitblit, or github(public or private) can also work as a suitable solution. It keeps the documentation with the code and is search-able. Since the code and documentation are kept together it works a lot better for scripts and programs than it does for something like the procedure to shutdown your whole data center. It doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't use it just that it may not work great for all use cases. So again we are close but still not a home run. Knowledge-base/Content Management Systems/anything like it all work to varying degrees. This concept is really more implementation and software dependent. For the most part the difference between these and a Wiki is generally the flexibility to document changes to the documents and who made them. These systems tend to be very rigid and generally require defining a taxonomy to make them work efficiently. There is nothing wrong with defining a taxonomy but it normally provides very little reward for the time and frustration put into them to get everyone on the same page. They generally just become difficult to manage over time and then grow less useful as people stop putting the effort in. What seems to work in a lot of environments is a blending of the Wiki and Version Control(GIT) concepts. Yes your documentation ends up somewhat scattered but if everyone knows where to look for which kind of document then it works pretty well. I generally suggest putting things like procedure and policy items go in a Wiki so they are accessible to everyone. Then for things that are focused on an applications whether purchased or internally developed being kept in a Version Control system with the code or binaries. This keeps the specifics of applications which tend to change more often with the related applications. The wiki can then be used for the things that should be more accessible and slower changing like the procedures for deploying that application. At the end of the day the best system is the one that wins the popularity contest in your organization or team. If the whole team hates wiki's then don't use them. At the same time if it's just the one user who doesn't want to use a wiki then maybe it's time to talk to them about leaving your Company. So go now and document something and put it where you think everyone should find it. Then ask everyone to send you an e-mail with the first place they looked. If the majority were looking in the right place then you found your location.

First we'll look at the latest tech news and happenings in Hawaii and beyond. Then joining us today is Cindy Matsuki from HTDC to tell us about the upcoming Wetware Wednesday event. Finally, we find out about the National Science Foundation's storm chasing vehicle called Doppler on Wheels and what it's doing and learning in Hawaii.

Molecular Aesthetics | Symposium Symposium at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, July 15 -17, 2011 in cooperation with DFG-Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). How and why are biomedia employed in the field of (media) art? Whilst the technosciences themselves have increasingly become potent producers of aesthetic visualizations, do artists just want to make rival use of the epistemic power of the image? Or do they rather use wetware at the molecular or cellular level in order to short-circuit semiotic procedures of representation by staging and voluntarily emphasizing the very authenticity of their biological subjects, objects, processes or systems? The artistic use of biomedia as means of expression takes advantage of the high degree of non-fictitious believability, truthfulness and manifest corporality of their status as real biological entities, potentially living or stemming from life, and thus resembling the viewers of this art themselves. But while their real, apparent, or at least potential a/liveness first prompts the viewer's feeling of immediacy, the underlying mediality and technological constructedness of these displays is more slowly, cryptically revealed and addressed. Therefore, the apparent visual and diegetic core of biotechnological artworks needs to be carefully analyzed, beyond a purely image-based hermeneutic approach, on the basis of the artistic media themselves with their respective phenomenological impacts and their epistemic nexuses. Features that once unfolded primarily as artistic images are today being remediated, dispersed and fragmented into a confusing multitude of media. Here, mediation and technologies are no longer employed merely to achieve an aesthetic effect. They are themselves fully-integrated elements of the aesthetic idiom. Indeed, biomedia's potential to produce, destabilize and deconstruct authenticity can be seen in the light of two complementary and well-established mechanisms in art history: Illusionism, which can be considered the simulation of an authentic presence that appears even to share a physical space with the viewer, and indexicality, on the other hand, which acknowledges that cultural products per se obey sign modalities and hence induce degrees of representation. /// Symposium im ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, 15. -17. Juli 2011 In Kooperation mit dem DFG-Centrum für Funktionelle Nanostrukturen (CFN) des Karlsruhe Instituts für Technologie. Wie und warum werden Biomedien in der (Medien-) Kunst eingesetzt? Während die Technowissenschaften selbst immer häufiger zu potenten Gestaltern ästhetisierter Veranschaulichungen werden, wollen Künstler da konkurrierend die epistemische Kraft von Bildlichkeit in Anspruch nehmen? Oder benutzen sie Wetware auf molekularer und zellulärer Ebene, um semiotische Repräsentationsprozesse kurzzuschließen, indem sie die Authentizität ihrer biologischen Subjekte, Objekte, Abläufe oder Systeme inszenieren und bewusst herausstellen? Die Verwendung von Biomedien als künstlerisches Ausdrucksmittel nutzt deren überzeugende Glaubwürdigkeit und Wirklichkeitsnähe ebenso wie die manifest präsente Körperhaftigkeit, welche sich aus dem Status als biologische Einheiten ableitet, welche lebendig sind oder aus Lebendigem hervorgingen und somit dem Betrachter einer solchen Kunst gleichen. Während ihre faktische, offenbare oder zumindest potenzielle Lebendigkeit bei der Rezeption zunächst ein Gefühl der Unmittelbarkeit hervorruft, tritt die zugrunde liegende mediale und technologische Konstruiertheit jener Dispositve nach und nach bruchstückhaft und kryptisch zutage. Der visuelle und diegetische Kern biotechnologischer Kunstwerke verlangt daher eine eingehende Analyse, die nicht allein auf die Hermeneutik des Bildes, sondern direkt auf die künstlerischen Medieneinschließlich ihrer phänomenologischen Wirkungen und epistemischen Verknüpfungen gegründet ist. Erscheinungen, die früher primär die Form von Kunstbildern annahmen, werden heute in eine verwirrende Vielfalt von Medien übersetzt, verstreut und fragmentiert. Das Medial-Technologische ist nicht mehr Mittel zum Zweck, sondern vollwertiges Element der ästhetischen Sprache. Dennoch führen Biomedien in der Kunst historische Mechanismen der Authentizitätsproduktion fort, insbesondere jene von Illusionismusund Indexikalität.

May 22, 2010. Rudy reads from his four-novel cyberpunk omnibus, THE WARE TETRALOGY at the SF in SF gathering in San Francisco. This clip includes the classic “monkey brain feast” scene from SOFTWARE, and Sta-Hi Mooney’s introduction to the drug “merge” in WETWARE. Subscribe to Rudy Rucker Podcasts.

Dennis Bray is an active professor emeritus in both the Department of Physiology and Department of Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge. He studies the behavior of microbes--how they "decide" where to swim, when to divide, and how best to manage the millions of chemical reactions taking place inside their membranes. For Bray, microbes are tiny, living computers, with genes and proteins serving the roles of microprocessors. In this interview, I talked with Bray about his provocative new book, Wetware: A Living Computer Inside Every Cell.
