Yes, They Actually Put a Brain On a Computer. And It’s Suffering.

In this video, we look into one of the most profound and unsettling developments taking place in technology: biology. That is, biocomputing. For the first time, living neurons are melding successfully with machines and digital systems. What happens now?

    Yeah, look up Project Neuro core. They literally are putting coma patients and people that were essentially murdered for scientific purposes in San Francisco California. They attaching them or their brains rather to AI and making them basically hard drives. This is not a joke. This is not conspiracy theory you can find it out yourself. There’s definitely a cover-up in a white wash about it. I got like three years where the evidence against all this shit between this and a couple other things that were being done.

    O número absoluto de investidores é um dado desonesto. É necessário colocar o percentual que compare o número de investidores dividido pela população para compreendermos se isso aumentou, diminuiu ou se manteve em relação ao crescimento populacional.

    There is no evidence that the neurones are suffering, thus a lot of this video is a straw man argument. Also the whole "don't play god" is a very weak argument. If humans didn't "play god" many women would still dying after childbirth, infant fatality would be significantly higher, and we'd still be living in the stone age.

    As for the question "why are we doing this". Well you answered that at the beginning of the video – technology is reaching it's limits in terms of both power output and energy requirements. As of right now, our technological advancements are having detrimental effects on ecology – whether it be the water consumption used by AI, the heat generation and the harvesting of materials (which has also led to the exploitation of many African countries and the people that live there). If bio engineering allows us to gain more powerful computers to help us advance other science such as medicine, and those computers have lower energy demands on the environment – then I am all for it.

    I've noticed that all of these channels that pop up for me lately all have the same camera face shot of the youtuber… same height.. similar perfectly set up background… just makes me feel like it's not real. Idk what's real anymore!

    People more worried about simulated neurons than the 88 billion warm-blooded beings brutally slaughtered for human self-indulge every year (not even counting aquatics and lab animals).
    There has never been a more inexcusably f'd up species than humans. The worst part is that we can do so much better… but we're don't. Compassion stops at inconvenience.

    How does this shit get to be legal and exist, while stem cell research and human derived cell lines have to clear giant ethical hurdles and have been challenged in court a million times? How are Christians and other religious leaders not going insane over this? How is this not a political topic in the culture war? How is it so little known, how are they getting away with this?

    Makes me so so so scared for my kids. I wish I was a boomer, and had like, 10yrs left, instead of 40/50

    What are we doing and why?
    Well… Because brain already exists I can ascertain we are creating slaves who think what and how we tell them to think.
    Because corporate enslavement is not efficient enough to achieve this goal, we are trying to find an absolute dogshit way of moving ahead.
