In 2022, a Melbourne start-up announced they’d taught neurons in a dish to play Pong. Now, they’re selling a "biological computer" made of thousands of human neurons.

    i wrote a short story a decade ago where people temporarily rent out their brain to act as a global scale bio super computer. and how people were large scale cheated into needing to rent out their brains for the rich to exploit.

    i have to find where i put it!

      Societies being run by brains in a jar still sounds better than our current system.

      Biological artificial intelligence would be very very creepy we are basically playing God here. It feels like creating another species so we don’t feel lonely in the universe.
