Seeing a dude grow human neurons directly connected to a computer chip to make a "human AI", all from his garage [0]. It showed me what is possible with science these days if you have enough dedication and know-how. Made me feel deeply excited and scared for the incoming future.

The thought of clandestine modding labs and neural implants brings to mind a future similar to Ghost in the Shell.

At this point I feel like people must also be trying to modify their DNA in secret. I wonder if we'll hear some horror stories in the next few years.

Oh yeah this one... This really disturbs me. I can't shake the feeling that it might be conscious somehow; trapped, enslaved and tortured like some kind of Black Mirror episode.

Probably not a lot. Babies when they're born have billions of neurons but believe me, there isn't much going on yet :)

This is why I give that engineer at Google a lot of slack for his concerns that Lambda was conscious.

There’s a bit of an imperative, in my opinion, to over-index on that concern, because we could be building and torturing things for decades because people are afraid of losing their jobs.

One of the few YouTube channels that i can identify by the experiment alone.
