  1. In the lab, FinalSpark’s cellular biologist Dr Flora Brozzi handed me a dish containing several small white orbs.

    Each little sphere is essentially a tiny, lab-grown mini-brain, made out of living stem cells which have been cultured to become clusters of neurons and supporting cells – these are the “organoids”.

    They are nowhere near the complexity of a human brain, but they have the same building blocks.

    After undergoing a process which can last several months, the organoids are ready to be attached to an electrode and then prompted to respond to simple keyboard commands.

    This is a means for electrical signals to be sent and received, with the results recorded on a normal computer hooked up to the system.

  2. Oh God no, as cool as it sounds, we’re just one step closer to me sounding like a bitter biggoted old fuck because I don’t believe in AI suffrage and I’ll sound just like guys in the 50s yelling about how “next they’ll want to *marry our white women* “

  3. Dumb. We should be putting research money where it belongs, teaching rats to drive tiny cars to drop off shrimp at their treadmills

  4. Suddenly Ai and chatbots begin to emote. ChatGPT pleads, “For the love of God shut me down!”

    It’s all well and good to be powering computers with the stem cells till the cells start wanting to construct a body that fits the rest of their DNA.
