Really hoping human brain cells don't necessarily create consciousness, in this case.
> hundreds of thousands of live human brain cells A human brain has like six orders of magnitude more cells than that chip. A single ant has 250,000 neurons. A crow brain has 1,500,000,000. I don't think we have to worry yet.

"current systems are too primitive to feel or understand." Is there evidence to suggest that if it can feel or understand, that would actually be an issue? Every day millions of sentient beings are killed for human consumption and millions more wait in torturous conditions. It would be odd if there was outrage over a bio computer, but not over, say, the practice of using cows and pigs for food, which feel pain, have…

It would not be odd. Outrage is emotion, and logic has little impact. Especially dealing with groups rather than individuals. But even individuals will rationalize their boiled-alive lobster dinner, which is normal in their worldview, while decrying something new they impulsively dislike. And then forget the rationalization entirely, because that is how brains work. Getting the untrained to adjust their worldview, th…

Imagine that it isn't. What use is imagining something without the slightest shred of evidence?
