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

#172I am so proud to be an Australian technologist today.

#173So we get the technology to put living brain cells in a virtual simulation, and the first thing we do is put them in hell? Classic humans.
Hell in which you have shotgun and chainsaw and victims is actually heaven.

#174If this can be taken at face value... it's creepy. I get that they're doing it for the meme. But perhaps something getting close to human intelligence, made out of human cells, shouldn't be forced to play a violent video game without any alternative options? Does 'the meme' justify that? I dunno. Nothing against violent games myself. Just feels like it's starting to get quite questionable, ethically speaking.
Funny though how many are dismissive of trillion-synapses brains that can understand and speak tens of languages, write decent code, discuss history and philosophy, solve math problems...
And then are creeped by 200k neurons that barely find a target when they're told where it is.
You can probably train an ANN with only a few hundred neurons at most to do the same.

One take is that we made human brain cells to live in hell. On the flip side, we gave them a super shotgun.

#178Earlier quoted context omitted.
Born in 1988. It wasn't lost on me. Am I old now too?
Born in 1979 but I don't get it. What is it about?

#179Big deal. I had a set of human brain cells playing DOOM in the 1990s.

#180Surely it can only be fake. How can it be legal?
But seeing so many people from the hacker news community reacting to it as normal or exiting is troubling. This is obviously breaching the limits of ethics.
