SCI-FI has always featured sentient AI, and now we might be heading toward actually synthesizing brains. This feels dystopian.

PS: It's still very cool but also scary.

So just a couple functioning braincells and playing doom all day. Me in 9th grade.

We already replicated Terminator.

Why not tackle Robocop next!

There are a lot of things converging right now. Human brain cell computers. Neuralink Mapping of the fly brain and inserting it into a simulation? Ai

We are potentially moving in the direction of uploading conciousness.

These are all largely unrelated technologies; how would they help us upload consciousness? We can't even map the human brain with complete accuracy.

If we're gonna suspend ethics and morals in science, can we at least go back to human cloning?

But can it run Crysis?

Wasn’t this the original conceptualization for the Matrix?

Speaking of earlier concepts of The Matrix, there's an old 1973 German movie/mini series World on a Wire that's really good.

Other way around - the machines were using human brains as a substrate for computing.

If they can get Doom to run on a pregnancy test surely they could get it running on human brain cells?

Wasn't the matrix using humans as some sort of power source/batteries? I may be misremembering though, as that seems pretty silly in retrospect ..
kingkawn 16 hours ago||
Yes, but as I’ve read it that was to simplify it at studio demand for 1999 audiences. The original conception was to use human minds as coprocessors

That sure would have made a lot more sense, unfortunate that they went with the battery story in the end.

OI just turns out to be straight up unethical, immoral and disgusting for me.
