Cunk on Earth also did a similar bit with Beethoven.

Does Charlie Brooker have some kind of enchanted typewriter that can influence the world or something?

That's a pretty misleading headline. The news article is about a cool art installation, in which an artist has used a deceased composer's DNA to produce electrical signals that are interpreted as music. Still cool, but it's not "composing music" in the same sense as the alive musician was composing music.

I hope to all holy fuck it’s not conscious.

Some brain cells cobbled together from stem cells that have his DNA. None of the life experiences that made his music. You could likely get similar results with the same technique using the DNA of any random person on the street.

They grew a brain organoid from his donated blood white cells that they turned into stem cells. The brain organoid produces electric impulses because that's what brain cells do. They made something artsy out of those impulses. So it's completely unrelated to whatever experience the musician could have had. DNA doesn't store acquired skills nor life memories. They could do that with anyone's cells and probably get a similar result.

Quite the exaggerated headline from the look of it.

More like 'decomposing', amirite, guys?

The hard truth is that there are a lot of completely un-empathetic scientists out there.

Some of the shit I saw them doing to animals when I worked for Baxter still makes me sick when I think about it. And I only had to go into that lab a couple times.

Shhhh! Don't interrupt him, he's decomposing.

This sounds like chatGPT with extra steps and body horror.

I genuinely thought this was an Onion headline.

My Ashley O. doll is starting to glitch out a little. Should I be worried?

Storm of lying clickbait titles today.

I notice they didn’t say it was any good.

Has anyone seen the show “Pantheon“? This is getting close to it.
