Today I present you with a new horror beyond comprehension: Organoid Intelligence (OI)
The long and short version
OI uses cultures of human brain cells to create nodes of computing which function similar to, but more energy and learning effient than, AI.
There have already been tests where such OI has been trained to play pong (because why the fuck not).
The main points of discussion in the media are whether OIs can gain consciousness and what the relationship is between donor and the organoid.
What are your feelings about this?
Would you use an OI machine?
What does this mean in the context of the individual?
What does this mean for religion?
How might this be exploited by corporations?
