I remember as a teen seeing a video where they put a rat brain on a microchip and trained to to fly planes in a flight simulator
Since reading that I never understood why the idea didn’t get bigger.
Not a fan of using human brains for this… there’s some serious ethical questions we need to untangle there.

Edit: I guess I never realized there’s nothing stopping me from just doing this myself now. I could probably get this to connect to a raspberry pi that I have sitting around… How do I get rat brain cells though?
Edit 2: This looks more complicated than I wanted it to be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEXefdbQDjw
Stupid science. Nature did this all on its own in a cave in the desert and we can’t make this work in a lab?
The real trick will be in figuring out some sort of solid state device - probably at least partially (if not predominantly) analog, not digital - that can reliably mimic the behaviors of biological neurons.
The actual breakthrough of AGI isn’t going to occur until we figure out how to do machine learning with analog circuit design. Digital simply does not scale well - what we’re doing now with “AI” using GPUs is simply brute forcing the problem by layering dozens of markov chains on top of each other.
The brain cells presumably have a life span… if this technology ever gets used in consumer devices, I’d like to know how people will try and squeeze extra life out of a failing component.
Take it out and warm it in their hands like an alkaline battery?
Give it a shake?
Sing to it?
Some kind of stimulant drug?Sprinkle a little cocaine right on the grey matter to overclock the device.
but that makes the system confidently wrong, not hardworking.
Oh, so thats how LLMs are made?
Are they called Republicans. Lol.
Oh so, Warhammer 40k? Soon we’ll all get annoyed with AI and outlaw it, these “thinking computers” will be the way around that ban. Great, great. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.
Your banal chattering is unnecessary. Are you able to grasp the importance of my experiments? Begone from my sensory range, lest I have you disassembled for servitor parts

How ghastly
And so it begins…
If Mother Brain from Metroid is going to be a thing, they should also start using that biocomputing to develop the Power Suit.
But you know it’s going to instead be in PowerPoint (now with mandatory BioCoPilot AI™️)
Living in the matrix
Ah yes! One step closer to servitors. Praise the Omnissiah!
I see nothing whatsoever that could go wrong here.
Spy Kids called it
Sounds like a Doctor Who plot.
Is this a “Torment Nexus” story or a “Piss on the Poor” story?
I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream
Training neurons to do calculations doesn’t seem like it’s quite that without the other basic brain structures that mammals have.
Our flesh is as meaningless as the computer powered brains.
¿Por qué no los dos?
“Let’s make AI by just taking actual human brains from the poor and immigrants and then cutting out the parts that give them free will.”
Literally part of a plot in a video game, coming soon to a reality near you.
what game?
Watch Dogs Legion.
Literally part of a plot in a video game, coming soon to a reality near you.
Also, the original script for Matrix before they changed it to batteries (fearing that too few people would even understand what a CPU is at the time).
That would have been a better plot, IMO.
Making peace with the machines would at least make a lot more sense if they themselves were actually people.
So we’ve now come full circle.
Our Startup uses mini human brains inside of biological bipedal systems to provide frontier performance in our custom internal benchmarks. /s
Explain the joke: We rebuilt humanity with a smaller brain.
Sounds like child labour with extra steps.
Lol
Can one be used to power America’s leadership?
Only if they make the brains much smaller.
I’m going to make sure I keep a stock of brill cheese just in case things get out of hand.
