Put the man's name in the title so my filter picks it up

A lot of comments about this project the last few weeks are creeped out by it as if the "human brain tissue" used to make the chips is actually from a person and still has some conciousness. It's just a relatively small amount of synapses grown in a lab. It's essentially a computer chip that can rearrange the path tracing instead of being a static path like a normal computer chip. If it has conciousness at all, that would be even more of a wild discovery to warrant continuing the project, imo.

Why the fuck should I care what Elon Musk thinks about this?

It's to manufacture rage. You need clever tricks to get a whole population to hate any kind of technological advancement.

I hate the Elongated Muskrat as much as the next guy, but in this case I take it as a situation wherein if even he thinks this is bad it must be terrible.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 25 minutes ago

If he says it's bad then it's a competitor

[–] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 14 hours ago

He just says shit, he doesn't actually think about it long enough to have a relevant opinion. If he did he'd realize he can get a petri dish to play path of exile for him instead of paying a human to do it

That weird-looking alien thing on the left is a bacteriophage. They have nothing to do with brain cells but it does make for an attention-grabbing jumpscare thumbnail.

Wait, no, I mean the weird-looking alien thing on the right.

What's "creepy" is an eccentric billionaire who desperately wanted to go onto the kid diddling island.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 21 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

it amuses me that pretty much all technological and scientific breakthroughs all seem to revolve around DOOM.

Now have the Petri Dish play Quake 3 Arena on the hardest bot setting and i'll be impressed. Xaero is a pain in the ass.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 15 points 17 hours ago

I guess doom attained benchmark status as a program, sort of like VLC.

I'll never understand why people that understand Musk and Twitter are pieces of shit...

Yet still spam tweets to other social media.

It just means someone is still going there to take these screenshots just fucking stop.

Everyone knows it's a hellhole full of Nazis, you're just normalizing it by spreading screenshots from there.

Hang on. Am I misunderstanding, cuz this comes across to me like "oh you don't like capitalism yet have an iphone?" I don't even personally use Twitter but I get why people do, even when they hate the dude.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Am I misunderstanding,

Yes

You can read the news, tweets, posts, whatever of people you disagree with. Sharing said information is not a promotion of their agenda or platform; it’s information gathering.

To ignore opposing views, simply because they are opposing, is exactly what the other side does; two sides of the same coin. I would wager you don’t want to be like them.

The blue checkmark is most certainly supporting Musk and his agenda, so that is critique worthy by itself.

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

If you're posting links to someone's service on the internet, I think it's going to be hard to make the case that posting their links isn't "supporting them", regardless of your own personal motive for doing so.

Unnecessary brain chips that cause test monkeys to rip their hair out and die from stress: ✅️

Hes nervous bc this could invalidate grok in a few years if it progresses as fast as LLMs.

Soon slave brains will run AI scams.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

exploiting North Korean slaves

So I've never heard this theory but I did watch a YouTube shorts by Zackdfilms that explained sometimes prison inmates are forced to grind online games and then the prison guards sell their in game earnings to players for real money.

Doesn't specify where it happened, however.
