Last year, Monash University scientists created the "DishBrain" – a semi-biological computer chip with some 800,000 human and mouse brain cells lab-grown into its electrodes. Demonstrating something like sentience, it learned to play Pong within five minutes.
@neko @boem The fetus cluster has the potential of developing into a human, if left alone in the womb. A brain cell does not AFAIK.
It also has the potential of hurting the potential mother long-term.
@user224 Or growing up a genius. You never know.
The sperm in my balls could be the next Einstein. But I’m gonna beat my meat and cum in a tissue and there’s nothing you can do to stop me. Mwa ha ha ha!!!
@photonic_sorcerer Maybe. But you didn’t show that genius potential in your toot.
Oh, right, because we judge intelligence based on comments made on the internet. How could I have forgotten?
Also, this isn’t Mastodon. I’m proud to say I’ve never tooted in my life.
“Toot” is a silly word invented to make Mastodon seem like Twitter. However “tweet” is equally ridiculous.
We already have a word - “comment” - which is universally understood. Also has the added benefit of not being conceived by some Silicon Valley marketing genius.
