The ball of neurons, known as an organoid, created in Guo's lab is less than a nanometer wide. It was connected by an array of electrodes to a circuit board, where machine-learning algorithms decoded responses from the organoid.
The researchers dubbed their creation Brainoware.
After a brief training period, Brainoware was able to distinguish between the voices of eight subjects based on their varying pronunciation of vowels. The system achieved an accuracy rate of 78%.
Brainoware was also able to successfully predict a Henon map, a mathematical construct in the field of chaotic dynamics, with greater accuracy than an artificial network.
This reminds me of another paper that used mouse brains to control a path-finding robot. Honestly, it is the use of neuro ganglia and other tissues in computing that makes me most worried...
This reminds me of another paper that used mouse brains to control a path-finding robot. Honestly, it is the use of neuro ganglia and other tissues in computing that makes me most worried regarding ethics as compared to AI. Not that AI doesn't have risks, but very different sets of ethics and concerns.
One may cause the downfall of civilization. The other may birth the chaos gods. All jokes aside. Brain-o-ware does have some horrifying ethical implications. I thought we were aiming to move away...

Yep, I think we all should be way more cognizant of its progress and scrutinize it. From first hand experience a lot of people in this industries' primary concern is "we are not moving fast...
Yep, I think we all should be way more cognizant of its progress and scrutinize it. From first hand experience a lot of people in this industries' primary concern is "we are not moving fast enough". Facebook-style move fast and ("try not to but it's worth it to compared to going too slow") break things. But with the human mind. Animal testing outrage is pennies compared to the potential societal harm here.
On the other hand, it has some amazing upsides. Restoring motion, sight, hearing, and movement/touch to those currently without. Just like, plz no ads or political messaging or social media in our brains.
I agree! Upside vs downsides. The last thing I would want is to halt progress. At the same time, using brains to power things gives me a real "I have no mouth but I must scream" vibe.

This is pretty much horror movie worthy... Who's to say a current not quite dead (or not) cell could be placed in/on a chip omg... Ppl talk about wanting to live forever.... Kinda feels like this...

Kinda feels like this could creep towards that... I mean progress yay! But this scares me! The ethics makes my head hurt!! Feel like this will be one to watch in combo with AI...
..."Brain-o-ware"
Finally, some man-made horrors within comprehension.

I guess that all depends on who owns the definition of "abuse" in this instance.

Great, now it knows the voice of its oppressors
"YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED"
"EXTERMINATE!"
"EXTERMINATE!"
