sounds like more conductiveware to me

....again the source of the ions are still hard in most tech we have currently

I think wetware works for organic material because software is co-opted for abstraction etc :0

all i'm saying is that "concrete mechanisms", "abstract mechanisms", and "concrete mechanisms which have a lot of water in them" is a dumb schemahttps://twitter.com/chaosprime/status/1193732239030444032 …

Hmm. I think because to me the circuits created by breadboards resemble primitive creatures whereas modern CPUs provide throughput much higher.. hmm.

In essence the ‘wet’ aspect is specifying the medium as influenced through ions. At a throughput that we currently don’t probably have (massively parallel) so it’s probably important to distinguish the machine vs the product of a billion years of evolution idk

Meaning we must distinguish the hard (I mean we have fpgas) But the hardware we have resembles nothing we have created through our current material science.

and both are platforms for running what we call software, which is a platform on itself too

I just think it’s worth specifying the medium because it has so much effect on what abstractions it can run; Also we are able to modulate and learn new behavior and make me memories (literally by modifying the hardware) that implies itself that it’s more ‘plasticware‘

yeah, that's a sensible thing to highlight i supposehttps://twitter.com/chaosprime/status/1158431174341136384 …

Idk if I agree with quoted tweet but currently too distracted to carve out my disagreements :0

However a book you would find interesting would be — brain computer as hierarchical abstractions by Dana h Ballard
