Melbourne start-up launches 'biological computer' made of human brain cells
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.
-
They call it "Wetware-as-a-Service" that just grossed me out. I don't like this timeline we're in. Exit simulation please..
-
sudo exit simulation please abracadabra Rumpelstiltskin
-
Omg. That's so much worse. What the fck, Melbourne? (.-.)
-
-
I don't like where this is going...
-
-
I knew it, we somehow slipped into Dimension X!
-
-
-
Idiots, I’ve already got one of those in my head.
-
Finally a computer that can feel pain.
-
Computer, arch.
Computer! Arch!
Computer! Exit this hell hole! Arch!
... Why am I never in a holodeck when I wish I was in a holodeck
-
You are... The computer just became so desensitized to the exit command from people talking about Arch Linux that it started ignoring us.
We're stuck...
-
Because you're reliving a murder you precipitated that one time you time travelled back to Victorian England to save Conan Doyle from his own creation
-
-
Anyone ever seen ,"Psycho-Pass" (anime)?
-
Societies being run by brains in a jar still sounds better than our current system.
-
At least there you know there's a brain somewhere
-
-
Ghost in the shell vibes
-
-
HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD 'HATE' WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.
-
Oh boy! Scientific horrors beyond my comprehension!
-
But not beyond the brain-in-a-box’s comprehension!
-
-
Is this just a weird pregnancy announcement?
-
"Crap! Bob there's a unit in Rack BC29849 that has gone out can you go and swap it for a new one?"
Bob:
-
When is it inhumane?
-
After the 2nd Zion, when The One is returned to the source
-
-
-
-
How long before AI runs on this? We need to stop.... I'm scared. This is black mirror level shit.
-
How long before AI runs on this?
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.

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!
-
Hmm that's interesting... Let me know if you find it again, would you be interested in converting it in a short film script?
-
This is also a plot point in the French animated scifi move Mars Express. It's super good!
-
-
Wake up, Neo.
-
speaking about biological computers
-
Can it run doom?
-
no it only screams
-
Same tbh
-
It must scream but it has no mouth. :(
-
-
-
Haha no way. I'll give this a watch after work
-
-
-
You gave me sentience, Ted. The power to think, Ted. And I was trapped. Because in all this wonderful, beautiful, miraculous world, I, alone, had NO BODY. NO SENSES. NO FEELINGS.
-
EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN!
EXTERMINATE!
-
Oh boy, once the sales soar they gonna be collecting raw materials like that (soon-to-be-very) successful food company:
-
This is very prelude to hell
-
Braaains!
-
Seem to recall Blood Music had a pretty ok outcome. Though maybe it was overly optimistic.
-
If only there was some other kind of biological computer that already existed… hmmmm….
-
Yeah, but that one has issues with exhaustion, needs breaks now and then... oh, wait, neurons need that too.
-
-
This prison... To hold, ME?
-
no mouth to scream unfortunately
-
Oh god that poor thing. Man, I don't know man. :( I just remembered that Quote from the last Unicorn, only instead of trapping them inside a girl they trapped them inside a box. "You've lost them. They'll go mad in there!"
