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.

    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.

      Societies being run by brains in a jar still sounds better than our current system.

      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…

      Biological artificial intelligence would be very very creepy we are basically playing God here. It feels like creation another species so we don’t feel lonely in the universe.

    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.
