Lab Grown Brain Connected to a Microchip Recognized Human Voices

Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about a human brain computer interface that was recently able to distinguish human voices and what exactly all of this means

Love this channel, here i can get two of my favorite things:
1. Astrophysics news
2. Manmade horrors beyond my comprehension

[BriarLeaf]

Imagine a brain, silently screaming on a microchip, forever.

[marjankrebelj]

If this level of research is now public, imagine what must be going on behind closed doors of either big tech or government facilities, or both combined.

[mistdoyhta]

This once again proves that there is a biological learning algorithm that is radically different from today’s ANNs and it can be reproduced in computers and apparently we will soon find out how neurons learn so effectively because 260 voice recordings and 80% accuracy in a small amount of time is mind boggling

[chriswhite]

Now imagine if they take this up a few levels:
The ability to metabolically support MUCH larger brains, the size of houses, that are networked to OTHER brains and train them on specific tasks(protein folding, filtering astronomical data, what have you).
It would be utterly mad science.

[AgentLeon]

Imagine trying to teach this brain language and getting "kill me" in response....

[BoneBoyYo]

Imagine arguing with someone on the internet only to find out they are a just a brain on a microchip attached to the router. That's the future we have in store for us.

[Hugllls]

I once witnessed, under a microscope, human brain cells actively seeking out other brain cells to share and gain knowledge, they were vigorous & moved around with purpose!

[nathanrathbun]

What could possibly go wrong? It's not like we have thousands of scifi novels warning us not to do this kind of thing.

[johnsmiff]

The cool thing about studying biochemistry is it gives you the background to comprehend a pretty solid majority of the man-made horrors


PS: how did some of you lost souls decide that the replies to my comment was the right place to debate gun crime

Reminds me of 40k Servitors, but created from scratch instead of by carving off and repurposing brain tissue from a human convict. The really disturbing part is that once this is possible it becomes inevitable people will have to take it as far as it usefully can be taken, at least in an anarchic multistate global system where states are afraid of one another getting too much more advanced than they are. Eventually this might end up being the energy-efficient alternative to autonomous computer-controlled or computer-assisted weapon systems. At that point the line begins to blur between humans and our weapons, especially as the brain tissue that is used starts getting more complex. Is there a 'ghost' in the machine? What might such an entity want? Do we give them injections to reset them if they start exerting too much autonomy?

[ChrisPyle]

Awesome vid Anton, I love that you aren’t afraid to tackle anything in the world of science and make it fully comprehensible for us mere mortals. Cheers! 🍻

[erasmus_locke]

The fact that they were able to do this in two days without any real training...wow. Imagine the power of biodigital computers in the future.

[napoleonfeanor]

I think it isn't yet unethical but we really need to think what this can lead to. One problem is also that some countries have zero ethical concerns.

[tmbarton]

This experiment is closer to Dr Who's Daleks than it is Victor Frankenstein. Also kind of reminds me of the Star Trek episode “Return to Tomorrow” where non-corporeal aliens with telepathic abilities took over Kirk's and Spock's bodies to build mechanical bodies to house their consciousnesses.

[sombra]

Pure dystopia. This is not being criticized nearly enough.

[mikete]

This brain chip mixed with AI is a scary combination

[Mbartel]

What is keeping those cells alive? How are they absorbing oxygen, and vital nutrients, and what's keeping them from drying out? Inquiring minds want to know.

[capitalistdingo]

Nobody wants to have to change the glucose drip and clean out the kidney filters on the computer every few hours.

[FirstDragon]

Archer: “do you want daleks? Because this is how you get daleks.”
