That weird-looking alien thing on the left is a bacteriophage. They have nothing to do with brain cells but it does make for an attention-grabbing jumpscare thumbnail.
Wait, no, I mean the weird-looking alien thing on the right.

Why the fuck should I care what Elon Musk thinks about this?
it amuses me that pretty much all technological and scientific breakthroughs all seem to revolve around DOOM.
Now have the Petri Dish play Quake 3 Arena on the hardest bot setting and i'll be impressed. Xaero is a pain in the ass.
What's "creepy" is an eccentric billionaire who desperately wanted to go onto the kid diddling island.
I'll never understand why people that understand Musk and Twitter are pieces of shit...
Yet still spam tweets to other social media.
It just means someone is still going there to take these screenshots just fucking stop.
Everyone knows it's a hellhole full of Nazis, you're just normalizing it by spreading screenshots from there.
You can read the news, tweets, posts, whatever of people you disagree with. Sharing said information is not a promotion of their agenda or platform; it’s information gathering.
To ignore opposing views, simply because they are opposing, is exactly what the other side does; two sides of the same coin. I would wager you don’t want to be like them.
The blue checkmark is most certainly supporting Musk and his agenda, so that is critique worthy by itself.
Hang on. Am I misunderstanding, cuz this comes across to me like "oh you don't like capitalism yet have an iphone?" I don't even personally use Twitter but I get why people do, even when they hate the dude.
Unnecessary brain chips that cause test monkeys to rip their hair out and die from stress: ✅️
this is pretty much how Steve Bannon made his initial fortune
I don't give a fuck about Elmo Musk's opinion about this thing because the guy knows just enough to sound smart but he knows nothing about engineering, or humans for that matter, and literally every second word out of his mouth is a lie.
The Thought Emporiums youtube video making it is pretty cool https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bEXefdbQDjw&pp=0gcJCR0AztywvtLA
He's on Nebula too if you prefer that over youtube
A lot of comments about this project the last few weeks are creeped out by it as if the "human brain tissue" used to make the chips is actually from a person and still has some conciousness. It's just a relatively small amount of synapses grown in a lab. It's essentially a computer chip that can rearrange the path tracing instead of being a static path like a normal computer chip. If it has conciousness at all, that would be even more of a wild discovery to warrant continuing the project, imo.
The "human brain cell" part is just marketing anyway.
At the scale they're using (200.000), neurons from any species would work fine. Human ones don't do anything special. They're also not in brain form, but a blob growing on a glorified PCB.
But it is nicer in the press release to mention you have human brain cells, and they are doing intelligent things, so here we are.
There have been rat, human and other brain cell setups in the lab, and the interesting thing they found is the synapses start communicating and working together and specialize into zones of communication with a time frame that matches the gestatation period of the species.
That image should have a trigger warning. And for the creepy half of it, not the half with a brain.
Hes nervous bc this could invalidate grok in a few years if it progresses as fast as LLMs.
Soon slave brains will run AI scams.
