I am one of co-founders of this company. Many of the questions asked here are answered in our recent publication: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/artificial-intelligence...

I will be happy to try to answer any other questions!

How confident are you that these brain organoids are incapable of qualia and thus suffering?

PS. Also, while congratulating the company, I also wanted to appreciate and second the question ...

[willcipriano]

What does a "Hello World" for something like this look like? Is it a API, do I push a docker image to it or something? How do you interact with this sort of system?

[finalspark]

There a Python interface. The API enables to send stimulations, measure action potentials and deliver dopamine in real-time. There are 2 videos that explains this in more details on: https://finalspark.com/neuroplatform/

What does it feel like to be a real-life mad scientist?

[fallingfrog]

Is the total mass of the organoids in your system greater than the mass of a single human brain?

[actionfromafar]

Envelope calculation: 1 brain worth of neurons would make 10 million instances available for hire, and at 500 USD per instance would give monthly recurring revenue (MRR) at 5 billion USD.

Not too bad for a startup!

[finalspark]

No, it is way less. Consider we have about 10'000 neurons per organoid while our brain has about 100 billion.
