Listen if we're going to comprehend the man-made horrors we need to build a captive mind transfixed in agony to clarify its tortured sight

if this had been the site of the oakland meat spill we'd all be speaking meatese right now

Good thing there is a recognized and measurable definition of consciousness, because otherwise there would be no way to know if these thousands of little brains were being tortured with every computation.

Jk nobody knows what is the threshold or activity associated with consciousness so nobody has any clue what messing with brain organoids is doing ethically.

they used 1000 brain organoids the size of an electrode (fairly large) for this

also the study was done by the swiss and italians

Can we stop startups please

No one should be starting businesses, especially involving technology. Deeply unhinged and immoral behavior to do so.

One day an ethics department will be able to tell for sure if this cluster is conscious. When it hits that threshold we will make it sign a contract stating it has no rights to wages and then work it harder.

I'm pretty doubtful that this specific brain tissue is conscious, but I'm pretty certain this will be iterated for a couple decades until it's veeeery conscious and veeeery fucked up

aww sweet
