I understand it's early days, but that is horrifying.

At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus

Just think… if we can get it up to a few million cells and provide it with a blood supply, maybe even lungs and a heart, we might be able to model a mouse!

Really hoping human brain cells don't necessarily create consciousness, in this case.

> hundreds of thousands of live human brain cells

A human brain has like six orders of magnitude more cells than that chip. A single ant has 250,000 neurons. A crow brain has 1,500,000,000. I don't think we have to worry yet.

But how would you know? With a patient who has locked-in syndrome they can sense and think but have no ability to move or communicate. How could you tell if your fish brain (or future AI model) has the capacity to think or suffer?

Imagine that every individual cell is conscious, and that consciousness is a binary quality.

This reminds me of Minds Beneath Us. Mankind really has no limits, and who decides where to stop anyway?

What I really found interesting was that you could create neurons from blood & connect them together ?

I am not a biologist but I am wondering , can we create something like an immortal neuron ? I know that there are these water pigs / tardigrades which are very small and they look cute , can such tardigrades like organic matter be used for things like neuron , and also I am wondering. Can we really take a exact copy of these biological computers in terms of storage / data ? That way biological computers can still be conserved forever ?

I just found out starfish don't have a brain .... This is so fascinating

Starfish, also known as sea stars, do not have a brain in the traditional sense. Instead, they possess a nerve net that allows them to function and respond to stimuli. This nerve net is a distributed system of slow neurons that operate more like a simple computer program rather than a complex brain

So starfish are also like this.

Also out of topic but

I had also seen this muscle robot the other day combine this here with this and it can be absolutely nuts

Similar to the brain cheese in rifters that betrays humanity because it koves simple patterns

I imagine training time would be an issue with biological computers. Waiting for chemicals means a very low clock speed. And you can't run a 100 training jobs in parallel and merge them.

I think it only has to learn how to interface with DeepSeek.
