Near the corner of Sixth and Market streets in downtown San Francisco, Frontier Tower has become a 15-story haven for the wildest and weirdest thinkers in technology. Floor 11 is full of longevity and health tech enthusiasts. The crypto folks are a floor above, with a lounge full of expensive furniture. AI is on floor 9. And the big event there this weekend is down on floor 8, where a group of biohackers hope to hot-wire the nervous systems of two live lobsters and control their bodies via remote control, one operated by a person, another by an AI agent.
