HARD SciFi Futurism: Do you know of any sources speculating about advanced bio-technology as a replacement for silicon compute? (lemmy.world)

I know about the recent stuff using DNA as a storage medium. I am interested in writing a story where humans have mastered everything Evolution has to offer; a time when technology is completely integrated into a vivarium/Bioregenerative Life Support System like ecosystem on multiple levels.

I'm looking for references to better speculate about organic compute as a complete replacement for silicon in a very distant future.

Watch the vid at 2x speed, because 70% of what he says is just filling to lengthen the vid. Look in the comments for a guy named Kruger, he's actually a researcher on those kind of things and his comment is very interesting.

The environmental implications are crazy. Take arduindo program it and seed it with fungus and have the fungus reprogram the forest floor...

Bio markers for toxic areas, or even program fungus to clean up various super sites at a fraction of the cost...
