> A new type of computer that combines regular silicon-based hardware with human neurons is now available for purchase.
> Inside the CL1, a nutrient-rich broth feeds human neurons, which grow across a silicon chip. That chip sends electrical impulses to and from the neurons to train them to exhibit desired behaviors. Using a similar system, Cortical Labs taught DishBrain (a predecessor to the CL1) to play the video game Pong.
> “The perfusion circuit component acts as a life support system for the cells – it has filtration for waste products, temperature control, gas mixing, and pumps to keep everything circulating.”
> Because the technology incorporates human neurons, some scientists have raised **ethical concerns** around the development of “synthetic biological intelligence” like the CL1. Although DishBrain and CL1 are less complex than human brains, the technology has sparked debates around the nature of consciousness and the potential for future synthetic biological intelligence to experience suffering.
> “Right now, I think this is an **unfounded concern.** I think it would be a missed opportunity to not [be] able to use a system that has the promise to cure devastating brain diseases,” Silvia Velasco, a stem cell researcher at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Australia.
> The CL1 units will retail for approximately **$35,000** each and will become widely available in **late 2025.**
When the AI takes over and realizes it can harvest human brains to make efficient computers cheaper than growing them so it breeds us as cattle to expand processing power I’ll be really scared. Not because of the existential crisis of becoming cattle for an advanced being we will have created, but because the Wachowski’s called it 30 years ago, and the script they had got butchered to say they needed us for batteries because no one would understand.
So in order to fill the word limit to make a damn joke:
When can you play Doom on your Significant Other?
You will be uploaded to the cloud ☁️ via neuralink where you will lucid dream in the metaverse ♾️during sleep and death sequences. You will get universal basic income in DOGE crypto currency once AI takes up a certain percentage of jobs in the world economy. You will just keep fucking respawning as an ai waking up between bodies🛜and life will never be the same again as the new world order/aquarian age matures. Conquest to the stars to mark our individual journeys as the technological singularity lifts up off our feet with anti gravity tech 🛸 and ai discovers thousands of years worth of knowledge in a span of 10 years.
By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy.
The people of Earth will be forced and will be free to receive a soul stone implant to mark the beginning of their destiny in icloud heaven where they will be saved 😉
It seems like it comes with the same additional functions of a human out of a need to keep the neurons functioning. Is there gonna be a drawer I slop out some nutrient paste into? And will it have lilac scented bags like I use to dispose of my dogs …”waste product?”
I can hear the game chats already, “I’m lagging out cause my computer is hungry.”
