Oh look, manmade horrors beyond my comprehension
At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus
The Gom Jabbar test of humanity, but the opening on the pain box is just a 1.5" diameter circle.
Look on the bright side, maybe the Chinese government will eventually be able to use this kind of technology to alleviate human suffering and do better urban planning or something.
Wouldn’t even need to do that if this is something that can be done by just growing some brain cells, which seems to be the case. Though I guess imagine the power of a whole one if one could figure out how to make use of all the neurons and structures etc. Damn, ok, yeah, stick my brain at the start of a train, hell yeah :traingang:
You know it’s kinda terrifying science when braincells in a Petrie dish can play pong better than you.
But just think how much better at breathing and operating an absurdly complex mess of contracting squishy bits to move around both deliberately and precisely than them you are.
Wasn’t that basically the original plot for the Matrix? The machines were using human brains in a massive cloud computing network or something
honestly technology merged with living cells is very cool and I could think of some very useful applications
but this is hellworld, they’re gonna use it for drones
Ehh, it’s iffy. A couple brain cells don’t have consciousness. They can’t feel pain, desire, sadness, etc. All of those are a result of the overall brain rather than any few cells. If we keep it to that it could be ok.
