币界网报道:

瑞士科技公司FinalSpark推出了一项计划,为科学家提供由人脑细胞组成的“生物计算机”。这些生物计算机是由实验室培养的类器官脑细胞簇制成的。

临时生活AI的概念

FinalSpark表示,其生物计算机或类器官的“寿命”可达100天。这个相对较短的操作窗口意味着,在这些类器官上训练的人工智能系统可能需要定期转移到新的集群,否则将面临退化。

训练这些类器官涉及双重设置:积极的多巴胺奖励和消极的电刺激。这些方法有助于类器官形成新的途径,更像是活的人脑在学习。到目前为止,这些类器官正被全天候观察,以观察它们的行为,并找到更好的方法让它们按照指示运作。

大学抓住机会研究新的类器官

大约有34所大学要求使用新的FinalSpark的“生物计算机”然而,该公司只同意了9所机构的要求,包括密歇根大学、柏林自由大学和德国兰卡斯特大学。

密歇根大学表示,将优先研究改变类器官活性所需的电和化学刺激,并在开发类器官特异性计算机语言的基础上进一步发展。与此同时,德国莱比锡兰卡斯特大学的科学家们正试图将类器官融入不同的人工智能学习模型中,使其能够在更大范围内运行,并可能在硅基人工智能系统上取得进展。

FinalSpark的生物计算机可能已经有了一些竞争对手

这家瑞典公司已经扩大了其神经平台设施,该设施现在能够生产2000到3000台生物计算机。然而,它可能不是唯一一家长期生产“生物计算机”的公司。

西班牙国家生物技术中心的研究员Angel Goñi-Moreno表示,他正在研究能够对环境刺激做出反应的新型细胞计算机。这些计算机可以促进受损生态系统的生物修复和恢复,他称之为“细胞霸权”

此外,西英格兰大学的Andrew Adamatzky将他的工作重点放在真菌上,真菌显示出与神经元相似的电特性。他希望在类似大脑的真菌计算系统中使用它们。安德鲁说,他已经成功地训练了真菌网络,以帮助计算机系统执行某些数学功能。安德鲁希望扩大他的研究规模,使他的真菌系统能够学习并用于储层计算和模式。

Why Is No One Buying DeFi Insurance?

"Why DeFi Insurance Remains Unpurchased" explores the paradox of decentralized finance insurance. While DeFi insurance promises automatic, unbiased payouts via smart contracts—eliminating traditional insurers' denial practices—it struggles to attract users. The core issue is economic viability. Premiums are prohibitively high relative to the yields from DeFi protocols. For example, insuring a deposit on Aave or Maple Finance can consume most or even all of the annual yield, leaving returns comparable to or worse than traditional savings. Only the safest protocols, like MakerDAO, offer affordable premiums. Furthermore, the DeFi insurance model is structurally fragile. Unlike traditional insurance where risks are uncorrelated, DeFi risks are highly interconnected (e.g., oracle failures, bridge hacks). A single major exploit can simultaneously threaten multiple protocols, potentially bankrupting the entire insurance pool, which holds only millions against billions in total value locked. The governance model also creates a conflict of interest. In platforms like Nexus Mutual, token holders who vote on claims risk their own capital if payouts are approved, incentivizing denials. Consequently, the market is tiny and shrinking. Nexus Mutual dominates with $81.56 million in assets, but the industry lacks the capacity to cover a catastrophic event like the $292M Kelp DAO hack. Other providers have dwindled or shut down. The article concludes that DeFi insurance faces a "tragedy of the commons": its stability requires widespread adoption, but individual users have no incentive to pay for it, as premiums destroy their yields. Current solutions involve preventative measures like bug bounties and seeking external capital from traditional reinsurance, acknowledging that on-chain capital alone is insufficient to cover on-chain risks.
