Finally a use for those immigrants

It's fine, just a gimmick.

>>31611 It’s don’t. I like what he’s saying abut medical uses but realistically who can afford that. What he’s saying about long term could be a gimmick. It could also not be but I have a hard time believing cell based computing would be fully compatible with current computer architecture. A new type of computing would have to be invented and you prolly wouldn’t be able to play counter strike on it so why bother. t. cognitive science wanna do neurobiology next

>>31614 I didn't even watch the videos, I'm saying it's a gimmick because I bet it will be inefficient and expensive once it's fully developed. But I think it's not a big problem to interface such organs with the existing computer architecture. Regardless if you want to do neurobiology, I'm just an engineer like many others. The initial concern of ITT is more about philosophy: is there a fundamental difference between the organs of sentients being and the (more material?) silicon chips.

A YouTuber did this two years ago. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bEXefdbQDjw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c-pWliufu6U

>>31615 I like the argument used in the Chinese room: the only thing that we can all agree on, has consciousness and actually „knows” things, is humans. We aren’t sure silicon can ever birth an actual consciousness but we’re sure neurons can since we’re built out of them. As to concerns regarding this project: consciousness started to be seriously studied only in the 90s, so very recently. Before that science tried to prove consciousness doesn’t exist and failed. My uni classes about consciousness started with stating that not much interesting has been said on the subject which I believe to be correct. No definitive answer can be given to concerns ITT. Some theory states that consciousness happens when you get a sufficiently complex neuronal network. If that’s correct, then we might have manmade horrors. Another connects consciousness to specific parts of the human brain that have specific characteristics. If that’s correct then we don’t unless we want to make them. IIRC some doctor who studies consciousness told me that empirical evidence steers closer to that brain stuff. But I was too lazy to actually read the articles he mentioned.

How do you keep cells alive long enough so that this machine is actually useful?

yeah idk i just know that the bald dude in the second video is the biggest midwit who falls for every scam on the market

>>31732 Just watch the video. It's got tiny artificial lungs, kidneys etc. It's a baby in a box. :)

Becoming as an immortal digital energy being is kinda the endgoal, isn't it? At least that's what I'm aiming for here, maybe an AI clone/child that inherits my assets to compound them forever.

>>31614 >you prolly wouldn’t be able to play counter strike on it so why bother It would solve the power-problem of modern AI which the US is hurtling into a crunch on.

>>31784 And so man created himself anew, this time as a slave. Nothing ever changes.
