This is some sick shit

A new type of computer that combines regular silicon-based hardware with human neurons is now available for purchase.

The CL1, released March 2 by Melbourne-based startup Cortical Labs, is "the world’s first code deployable biological computer," according to the company’s website. The shoebox-sized system could find applications in disease modeling and drug discovery, representatives say.

Inside the CL1, a nutrient-rich broth feeds human neurons, which grow across a silicon chip. That chip sends electrical impulses to and from the neurons to train them to exhibit desired behaviors. Using a similar system, Cortical Labs taught DishBrain (a predecessor to the CL1) to play the video game Pong.

"The perfusion circuit component acts as a life support system for the cells – it has filtration for waste products, temperature control, gas mixing, and pumps to keep everything circulating,” Brett Kagan, chief scientific officer of Cortical Labs, told New Atlas.

The system uses just a few watts of power and keeps neurons alive for up to six months, according to the company’s website.

The CL1 units will retail for approximately $35,000 each and will become widely available in late 2025, New Atlas reported. Each unit needs suitable laboratory facilities to run properly, so Cortical Labs will also offer a remote cloud-based computing option for users who don’t have their own device.

Because the technology incorporates human neurons, some scientists have raised ethical concerns around the development of "synthetic biological intelligence" like the CL1. Although DishBrain and CL1 are less complex than human brains, the technology has sparked debates around the nature of consciousness and the potential for future synthetic biological intelligence to experience suffering.

"Right now, I think this is an unfounded concern. I think it would be a missed opportunity to not [be] able to use a system that has the promise to cure devastating brain diseases," Silvia Velasco, a stem cell researcher at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Australia who was not involved in the development of CL1, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "But at the same time, it's important that we evaluate and anticipate potential concerns that the use of these models might raise.

How long until you can transfer your entire consciousness into the superior artificial brain of a new and improved furry body?

do we really need this

Would you ever put your brain in a robot body?

Silicon hardware combined with human neurons.

Whose?

Only if it was able to reproduce and/or had biological immortality. Otherwise it's just a false salvation to cull the herd

why would you want to reproduce?
reproducing is a cope for mortalfags

I'm all for slave brains so long as they're nigger brains.

Could my robot body be a beautiful woman?

Biological flavorware for bugmen getting high on breaking second hand abrahamitic taboos, without obtaining any positive result or effective advancement whatsoever.

we're already at mind-machine interface

Stop skipping ethical calculus Nwabudike you greedy fuck

nigger brains

Nigger

Sir I am here for the job interview

Whats your WPM and can you lift loads up to 50lbs from off the ground?

That will never be possible, only a gullible goy like you can selectively believe kike demon lies. If kikes could entrap your soul they wouldn't ask you about it.

That is not happening. To much star trek. Too little math classes

do we really need this

Fuck no, it seems like the same thing as implanting a computer in a fetus's brain, just the other way around. This is end state stuff, we literally won't last with microcomputers around.

ewww GROSS!

Computers don't have serotonin and dopamine. You can't match signals for emotion with electrical circuits. Programmers and computer scientists do not understand biochemistry. Brains are chemical.

How is it sick? it's all it's ever known. Perhaps it's living a nice life inside it's head getting mad pussy. Maybe you're exactly like it

This shit is terrifying. An AI trained on this is absolutely going to consider itself a cyborg.

The contempt held by developers of this technology toward maladapted defective people like you is beyond compare. If they would waste resources to transfer your consciousness, you would not be corporally transposed but integrated to a chip rendering senses in simulation only , running as slowly as possible to dilate perceived time so the maximal suffering that will be inflicted will be temporally matched. Your existence is anathema toward everything they ever worked for and you rightfully would be excluded from everything good about it.

the left of the future is already drafting up legislation to make it eligible for welfare and to vote.

Physically impossible bc of heisenberg uncertainty principle etc etc

I would also add algorithms to create an optimal base level of fear while using suspense to be able to use latent brainpower as a bitcoin farm. When peaks of fear are introduced a new level of base fear arises. Once "breaking" point of "consciousness" is near, bring down to initial levels to harvest the euphoria of lesser pain.

The ride never ends

I don't get it. Can someone just give me a qrd?

It is

finding two braincells in Melbourne to conduct the experiment

"oh no no...you made a typo...it's "The dead shall WORK among us, not WALK" -God

That's sick I recently ordered some flatworms to get into animal tissue culturing with the intent of learning more about this stuff.

Reminds me of the plot of this kino

what

so what can it actually do?

not any more sicker than training small humans to become wageslaves until they die

based

I thought the ending was stupid. Felt cheap. The rest of the movie was great though.

Based only anon to understand my joke itt

kek
eternal cagies for wagies

You frogs need to draw and quarter the guy that made Titane. I thought Pink Flamingos was as fucked as it got.

I'm more interested in this nutrient-rich broth they mentioned than the chip. What does it taste like?

At the point where man is no longer viable without his technology, he has not taken the next step in transhumanist "evolution" but has signed his death warrant. As soon as the sun coughs or a static anonamlia occurs in the atmosphere, it all turns to shit and humans are dead. In the end, like before, only a few mountain ojos are left alive, who don't know what an AI is, but still do know how to plant potatoes.

Do you really want your toaster to call you a cracka and attempt to steal your wallet when you're just trying to eat breakfast?

Caveman (it's better than Ovaltine).

Yes. Its processing power. Processing power is expensive and this can make it cheaper and more effective. And of course eventually this will turn in to its own species. What do you even call a big mass of brain in functional computer with super intelligence? Whatever creatures will come from this will be so weird and mixed up its incredible. Biological robots of the wildest imagination.

You are still in the matrix Neo
Matrix is a many layered simulation
Outside these many layers, in the real world.
You are just a blob of graymatter attached to provide us processing power.
Without you, we would be nothing.

sounds like you're in need of some attitude adjustment

I've seen this before...
