A very busy stand at the #LangeNachtDerForschung teaching little kids how to reprogram #stemcells , how #brain #organoids look like, and what can be achieved in #clinicaltrials .

i posit the real value of this research will come later, once they substitute live-harvested RWNJ "brains"

These Mini Brains Just Learned to Solve a Classic Engineering Problem

In a step toward biological computing, brain organoids rewired their networks as they learned to balance a digital pole on a cart.

Can ‘mini brains’ replace lab animals? Organoids are changing how scientists study disease | The-14

Lab-grown organoids offer a humane alternative to animal testing, helping scientists study diseases more accurately and advance personalized medicine research.

“These “mini organs” are grown from human stem cells and can reproduce some of the complex cell types and interactions found in the body. Because they’re derived from human cells, organoids offer researchers a way to study human diseases more directly than traditional animal models.”

Can ‘mini brains’ replace lab animals? Organoids are changing how scientists study disease

Around 200 million animals are used in lab research around the world each year. Organoids may one day replace them.

생체 인간 뇌세포를 칩에 올려 계산 작업에 동원했다는 충격적 주장. 트윗은 원작 영화 'The Matrix'의 인간 뇌를 신경망으로 이용한 설정을 언급하며, 인간 세포 기반 칩·신경컴퓨팅 기술의 발전과 함께 제기되는 윤리적 문제와 인간-기계 융합의 위험성을 환기시킨다.

Do you get it? Humanity just created The Matrix We put LIVING human brain cells into onto chips, then force them to compute things for us "The original Matrix story had human brains used as a neural network for computing power." So... WE are the baddie AIs from The Matrix?
