Last year, Monash University scientists created the "DishBrain" – a semi-biological computer chip with some 800,000 human and mouse brain cells lab-grown into its electrodes. Demonstrating something like sentience, it learned to play Pong within five minutes.

    I feel like this was the origin story for the computer in I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream.

      It’s more like the origin story for the Cymeks in Dune. Although they were at least human once.

      People worry about AI taking over the world when it will probably be human machine hybrids deciding ‘yeah fuck humans’ in their giant killer Mechs.

    I still feel that silicone is more reliable than dealing with organic matter that can die.

    How do they keep it alive. Do you need to feed it or keep it in special conditions? With time, as the cells age, would you lose performance?
