We're working while cultured rat brain cells are playing video games for us.

Seems like a dystopia to me 🙃

Gee, how did I know it'd be the guy who made a virus to cure his severe lactose intolerance, infected himself with it and then gorged on dairy products to test it.

In this case, "mad scientist" is absolutely on point.

TIL you can buy human neurons

[–] Drewsteau@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For the right price you can buy just about anything as long as you know what vendor to use!

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. I'll get you a toe by this afternoon--with nail polish. These fucking amateurs!

Forget about the fucking toe man!

Excuse me Sir. Can you please keep your voices down. This is a family establishment.

The experiment uses cortical rat neurons, because of their affordability and because they can learn well enough for these purposes (you too can order a million frozen rat neurons online, what a world). Yes, you could use human neurons to the same end, and no doubt someone watching this video will be off to order some imminently, but they're expensive and almost seem overkill because playing Doom can be stripped-down to relatively simple yes / no patterns.

Is this real life?

Link to Video

My question is: can a rat brain run Doom?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=bEXefdbQDjw

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Player isn’t loading for me. Just gives a play icon with a line through it

[–] artillect@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

He briefly mentions making a "neural processor" in the middle of the video, so maybe it's possible down the line?

But can it play Crysis?

[–] gengar@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

From my heart and from my hand, why don’t people understand my intentions?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Your intention to play doom?
