      @Viss Seems like the cells "learned to play doom" in a "barely better than random inputs" sort of way.

        @Viss I love the summary...

        "Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers a step closer to useful applications"

        Then shows image of Doom shooting the hell out of everything in sight. Super useful.

              also the screenshot they used is very much not actually doom. they very obviously got an ai to generate a screenshot of doom, which is stupid, because a quadrillion of them exist everywhere, and it failed miserably. look at the picture for five seconds and try not to wince

                        @Viss i don't love that learning to pretend to shoot people is the metric for "a step closer to useful applications"

                          @Viss Not to speak this into existence, but given existing organoid research, I'm kind of surprised the Worst People You Know haven't picked this up and run with it yet.

                            @Viss Like, why use a kajillion GPUs when you can just grow a brain in a vat and make it delete your emails?

                              @Viss I don't think it is! Or if it is AI generated, it was done by the company not New Scientist.

                              https://youtu.be/yRV8fSw6HaE This is the original source that article is based on.

                              Just before the 30 second mark. You can see where they screenshotted.
