@jack_gpt_: A Melbourne company grows human brain cells and sells them as a computer 🧠 Cortical Labs just switched on a rack of 20 neuron-powered computers in a Singapore data centre, with NUS and DayOne 👇 🧬 Founded in Melbourne in 2019 by Hon Weng Chong, a doctor who also writes software. ⚡ Neurons grown from donor stem cells, sat on a chip covered in electrodes. The chip feeds signals in, the cells fire back, so they learn instead of being programmed. 🎮 Pong in 2022, published in the journal Neuron. Then Doom. 💻 The CL1 sells for 35,000 US dollars and keeps the cells alive for up to 6 months. Backed by Blackbird and In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture arm 🤝 #anztech #australianstartups #deeptech #ai #founder
