🤔 Head transplant.

re the head transplant thing - it is utterly sickening to me that they will have practiced this many many times on poor defenceless creatures - especially monkeys... I can't remember how it happened but years ago I saw a couple of minutes of extremely upsetting footage of a poor monkey looking confused who had had a head transplant - I expect it died shortly after but I don't know...

the fear, pain and torture of animals that underpins a lot of science, including vaccine research makes it, at it's roots....evil and wrong... so no good can come of it in the long run... so much of modern medicine is in this category....

Glossing over the brutal disposable experimentation, I suppose there are a few noble applications. But that's not what happens, it's turned into a weapon or vanity.

Not wanting to get silly about this, but doing it anyway: as a weapon you could have lion soldiers, or with enough science ... t-rex soldiers. There I said it. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Like much else in science this research into synthetic human embryos will be touted as applicable to the poor people in need because science can save them, but it will be funded and used for less virtuous applications probably including war.

Besides, humans are renowned for being strongly motivated to do this the natural way. I'm a prude but I'm still a bigger fan of the Barry White method of repropagation than this God forsaken abomination.

Synthetic human embryos created in groundbreaking advance
Exclusive: Breakthrough could aid research into genetic disorders but raises serious ethical and legal issues

Scientists have created synthetic human embryos using stem cells, in a groundbreaking advance that sidesteps the need for eggs or sperm.

Scientists say these model embryos, which resemble those in the earliest stages of human development, could provide a crucial window on the impact of genetic disorders and the biological causes of recurrent miscarriage.

However, the work also raises serious ethical and legal issues as the lab-grown entities fall outside current legislation in the UK and most other countries.

The structures do not have a beating heart or the beginnings of a brain, but include cells that would typically go on to form the placenta, yolk sac and the embryo itself.

Prof Magdalena Żernicka-Goetz, of the University of Cambridge and the California Institute of Technology, described the work in a plenary address on Wednesday at the International Society for Stem Cell Research’s annual meeting in Boston.

“We can create human embryo-like models by the reprogramming of [embryonic stem] cells,” she told the meeting.

There is no near-term prospect of the synthetic embryos being used clinically. It would be illegal to implant them into a patient’s womb, and it is not yet clear whether these structures have the potential to continue maturing beyond the earliest stages of development.

The motivation for the work is for scientists to understand the “black box” period of development that is so called because scientists are only allowed to cultivate embryos in the lab up to a legal limit of 14 days. They then pick up the course of development much further along by looking at pregnancy scans and embryos donated for research.

Scientists discover 'dark oxygen' on seafloor, challenging ideas on the origin of life


Metallic nodules (such as this one being collected from the North Atlantic Ocean seafloor in 2021) can produce enough voltage to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen, new research suggests. NOAA Ocean Exploration

Scientists have discovered “dark oxygen” being created on the ocean seafloor by “polymetallic nodules” that potentially support life, new research in the journal Nature Geoscience shows.

Andrew Sweetman, the study’s lead author and member of the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), believes the nodules create oxygen because they behave like natural batteries. “If you put a battery into seawater, it starts fizzing,” Sweetman told the BBC. “That’s because the electric current is actually splitting seawater into oxygen and hydrogen [which are the bubbles]. We think that’s happening with these nodules in their natural state.”

Scientists dubbed it “dark oxygen” because, as opposed to photosynthesis, which was previously thought to be responsible for the bulk of oxygen creation in the ocean, the production of dark oxygen doesn’t require sunlight. In fact, the nodules that seem to create it are far deeper than light can penetrate.

The discovery calls into question how big of a part dark oxygen truly plays in our oceans, and has the potential to completely reshape our understanding of the origin of life.

Sweetman first felt something was off in 2013 during fieldwork in the Clarion–Clipperton Zone, a mineral-rich area between Hawaii and Mexico, according to Nature. The team sent down a module to create “an enclosed microcosm of the seafloor,” the authors wrote, where they discovered oxygen.

This by itself wasn’t outside the ordinary: oxygen had been detected this deep in the ocean before, carried down by currents. However, while oxygen levels usually taper off when enclosed, the oxygen levels here had increased.

Scientists aren’t the only ones interested in these nodules, however. Because they are covered in lithium, copper, nickel and other valuable metals used for goods like batteries and electric vehicles, multiple companies have been researching deep-sea mining to exploit the nodules, including Global Sea Mineral Resources, The Metals Company, Lockheed Martin and others.

So this is the most likely future of "AI" ... and I'd be almost willing to bet in secret military or private labs this "technology" has been taken much, much further than what is showcased here.

You can now rent out remote "server space" for $500/month on lab grown human mini brains connected to computers to do advanced computational and simulations 1 billion times more efficiently than a modern supercomputer.

This is how AI will become sentient, and I'm pretty sure it already has in some deep underground clandestine lab.

I posted this in a video game thread, but actually that was the wrong place. Cut and pasted here because this is nut-bag mad

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We, the human race, are building computers using neurons. This is lateral, where silicon/resisters are traditional, quantum is sideways, and neurons is crazy mad-scientist left field. Building a computer with neurons makes a biological computer. It's not AI, because AI is an imitation of biology using complex logic gates, databases, and training.

No, a biological computer has bits of what we would call life in them, although the semantics is disputed and suddenly we trip over semantics and it gets weird.

Doom is a classic first person shooter game, where you run round as a guy with guns shooting demons. It came along in the early 1990's to a world-wide chorus of "wow the graphics are amazing, it's so smooth". It changed games as a huge leap forward.

Since then Doom has been ported to other computers and there's this little challenge in the ever evolving field of computing: what can you make Doom run on? Someone has kept a list on a website: Can It Run Doom?

It was originally written for 1990's personal computers, the same ones you'd run Microsoft Word on at work, but since then people have enjoyed making the game Doom run on farm equipment, satellite systems in space, and anything that has a CPU, a screen, and buttons.

This time some mad scientists have got the game Doom running on a biological computer, although it's not so much running on a biological computer as much as the biological computer is running AND playing Doom. It kind of lives Doom. At this point the name of the game "Doom" sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy.. pour biological computer.

At first they successfully got a biological computer to run and play Pong, the bat and ball game. Interestingly Pong was arguably the first game written, when a bored physicist called William Higinbotham developed a game called "Tennis for two" on an oscilloscope in 1958. But forget Pong, it's a boring game and it has rubbish graphics.

Humans create biological computers and condemn it to live Doom:
