Chinese engineers at Zhejiang University have unveiled the Darwin Monkey, the world’s first brain-inspired supercomputer built on neuromorphic architecture featuring over 2 billion artificial neurons and more than 100 billion synapses.

So China reached the level of Intel in neuromorphic chips. This setup is the same order of neurons, synapses and power consumption as Intel’s Hala Point. it’s roughly 1/40th of a human brain.

This is both fascinating and a little unsettling. We’re not just creating smarter computers — we’re getting closer to replicating the structure and complexity of actual biological brains.
If a supercomputer can rival a monkey’s brain, what happens when we start connecting our own brains to machines like this in real time?
Brain-computer interfaces are progressing fast, and this kind of tech could be the missing link. But are we ready for that level of integration — mentally, ethically, or socially?
