#4>Kagan says Cortical Labs has seen strong interest from universities, startups, and government groups exploring applications in drug discovery, neurocomputation, AI acceleration, and Bitcoin mining.
Really? Bitcoin mining?

#5I think this is the point-contact transistor moment for AI systems: horribly impractical and impossible to scale at cost but shows the way: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-contact_transistor.
But more than just AI research, the key to unlocking biological discoveries in a massive scale will be to be able to put systems like this (and other types of very cheap but solid bio equipment) in hands of tinkerers.

#6The YouTuber "The Thought Emporium" has been working on a similar project for a few years.
They run an amazing channel that covers a variety of topics. Highly recommend. The mummification video is fun.

That shows that the author understands nothing about either Bitcoin or neurons.

#8In the Rifters trilogy by author Peter Watts this is referred to as “head cheese” because cultured neurons resemble cheese at large scale. It’s used for big powerful AIs in that series and has a role in the plot.

#9Human brain in a jar? Any chance of sentience if we scale this up...?
