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.

So they want to make Servitor AI ?

Praise the Omnissiah!

We’re really trying to find a way to boost LLM performance, huh

That was kinda the other way round. But it’s set in 2028… So maybe.

of course the military is interested in this… god.

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.

It was scary stuff, but radically advanced. I mean, it was smashed, it didn’t work, but…it gave us ideas, took us in new directions. I mean, things we would have never…All my work was based on it. – Miles Dyson, Terminator 2: Judgement Day

This is fine

Why can’t we get Jurassic Park before biological AI?

Dinosaurs, while neat, do not bring sufficient profits for the offense industry.

I’d like to see how the Russians handle raptors.

I wonder, at the point where it’s neurons making up a very small piece of tissue, what benefit human cells give over something like a pig (the article does say human and mouse, but still).

The thought emporium has a great series of videos of the work they are doing related to this.

All I hear is “brainzzzzzzzz”

This has both more potential and more pure horror than any of the bland AI stuff we’ve been obsessing over.

That unfortunately won’t play the video in Firefox for Android. (At least not for me).
