Check out „Black Oceans” by Jacek Dukaj if you’re interested in sci-fi that explores this idea. https://culture.pl/en/work/black-oceans-jacek-dukaj
De Lift (1983) / Down (2001) also highlights certain shortcomings of brain-on-chip embedded systems.

#23I know supply chain issues have researchers trying out novel solutions but this was unexpected.
Still, I’m not worried about some new ghoulish supply chain unless it mines crypto.

#28Everyone seems to be joking about this, but doesn’t this result indicate that human neurones have a better learning algorithm than the ones we are using to train AI?
It’s interesting that this is evident in even small clumps of human brain tissue.
Really interested to know how this might work.

#29With "Evangelion" being in the (Hacker) news recently, I hope to remind people of this one scene...
An advanced AI named "The Three Magi" (which are 3-programs which vote for strategic effects) exists in the show. Without going too much into details, a problem occurs in the AI, so the lead scientist Ritsuko steps into the machine to check things out.
She comes with a circular saw. She cuts open one computer (the one named "Caspar") ... revealing to the audience that inside is a living brain, hooked up to a bunch of wires: https://imgur.com/MTZ7pzU
This is the first point where the audience probably starts to wonder about the ethics of the main characters. The later reveals of their bio-engineering / morals are more horrifying. But this is perhaps the audience's first look into the inner-workings of the NERV organization / science that they do.
