    Is there any actual evidence of any of this? Why not show some of the “brains-in-a-jar” walking around?

    It’s just a bunch of huckster promotion, “infographics”, and phony pictures of Krang. The only actual photos are a few tiny petri dishes. There are no “brains” controlling robots.

    The grift is strong and travels far beyond any national border.

    Only if they confirm it can experience consciousness and tremendous amounts of pain will they deploy them on a large scale industrial 24/day meaningless jobs.
    The system demands blood.

    That raises a lot of ethical concerns. It is not possible to prove or disprove that these synthetic homunculi controllers are sentient and intelligent beings.

      There are about 90 billion neurons on a human brain. From the article:

      …researchers grew about 800,000 brain cells onto a chip, put it into a simulated environment

      that is far less than I believe would be necessary for anything intelligent emerge from the experiment
