A brain is more energy efficient than a chip, but how a couple of cells connected to wires has more economic sense than a chip with gallizions of transistors?

- nusl 2y agoYeah. My understanding was that you'd need constellations of neurons to achieve a complex result, rather than a couple individual ones. Perhaps this article is light on details and it's more involved.
- RaftPeople 2y agoThe article said each organoid contains around 10k neurons
- FrustratedMonky 2y agoMore like stepping stones. Early adopters will drive down the cost.
- neurn_throw 2y agoThis is closer to rent a transistor, and the main use case is to find out what its voltage curves are. It is not a computer. I did work on a version which used in vivo brains for actual computation. It worked but no one wanted to invest in building the matrix for rodents. With the benefit of hindsight I shouldn't have added the slide explaining ethical considerations: 'Container Labs in international waters help us manage regulatory risks'.
