The fact that human neurons are so advanced that they can force other neurons into playing doom for them is crazy

[rubenflores]

Rat neurons “What is my purpose”
Scientists “You will play doom”
Rat neurons “Sick”

[Cryfwar]

Imagine gaining consciousness for the first time and your just Doomguy

[GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

Imagine getting stomped in an FPS and it's just an array of a few hundred neurons that owned you.

[FinnCrossan]

It's nice to think that someone's thought process while looking at a brain was "but can it run Doom?"

[togglehd]

He really took "But can it play Doom" to a whole new level!

[acetylsalicylicacid]

Imagine frantically running home, but instead of, "I left the oven on!", its, "I forgot to feed my computer!" 💀💀

“Ah sweet, man made horrors beyond my comprehension!”
-Peter Griffin

I like that this guy's first thought when creating a sentient being is to make it play doom as if "can it play doom" is a benchmark that should apply to living organisms and not just old computers

[GWPvR]

The fact that only a few neurons are needed to play Doom is a reason for this games success.

[williamprice]

We need to get a rat neuron speed run community

[lilliecelestedavis]

making the biomechanical brain ai orgasm every time it kills something couldn’t possibly go wrong

[gabrielwolffe]

"We're building a meat-robot"..."we're training it to play DOOM"....I see no way that this could end horribly.

[Freakshowed]

I’m terrified of the idea of severed brain cells learning to circle strafe at top speed and proceeding to play the game with the skill caliber of a professional speedrunner

[DefaultFlame]

Pitting miniature clone-brains of the lab personnel against each other in a quake tournament is the most mad scientist thing I've heard in real life.

[the_soggster]

What someone will say 100 years from now...

"awe come on dude, he was 1hp and then I started lagging, my computer must be hungry brb."

[jugel]

You're doing litteral scientific studies and present it as a Youtube funsie to fund it, you have my utmost respect

[RepDreStre]

I taught human neurons to play Doom by playing it myself

[miss_bec]

These man made horrors are within my comprehension and they're really cool

[DarkArachnid]

A lot of people don't know this, but the motor units inside muscles are binary, rather than analog, in nature. That means if you are using 80% effort to perform a physical task and you have 10 motor units, 8 of them are "on" and 2 of them are "off", rather than 80% of each motor unit being "on" like you would probably assume. Not sure how this relates to neurons but I thought I'd mention it.
