They maintain relevance because people still prefer their work, for the most part. Art that was made by someone for a purpose is messy, weird, touching, and original in ways that machine generated 'content' never can be. Until they figure out how to make a machine neurotic, horny, and spiteful I will maintain this position.

    No worries, they gonna steal some brain tissues and make a whole bunch of unethical neural networks.

    Those already exist and have already been hooked up to systems and are interacting with them. It’s crazy scary and like you said crazy unethical. The first ones I heard about were playing doom, the video game, so I’m assuming there’s already drone and missile experimental programs using human brain tissues as part of guidance and decision making.

    The fruit fly connectome? I heard about that. It's orders of magnitude simpler than anything approaching mammalian, at least for now. Hopefully this is as far as they get with it for now. To me the immediately insidious thing is that they released it freely. Likely to normalise the mistreatment of virtual intelligences ahead of more advanced models getting uploaded.
