Isn’t that literally hell?

    It's 1990, after an explosion who killed you you're placed in half life. The problem with Jory in the Sanitarium has been solved.

    Researchers have found a solution to people with psychic powers eating other people in the same structure.

    By working with people from the new id psychic software studio they devised an alternate reality where other patients are transformed into imps and other hellish creatures. Patients are provided with an array of guns to defend themselves from attacks.

    Level 2, pick up your shotgun.

    I give it <10 years before we get neural nets running on biological neurons. Things are starting to move dangerously fast now

    Is this the minimum number of braincells needed to play Doom? 🤔

    Ah, so they're skipping basic testing and heading straight for the final task training

    Couldn’t we put them somewhere nicer like sdv? Doom feels mean.

  • They can't see the game, so I don't think it matters. They just experience a stimulation in one area of their clump when a daemon appears on one side of the screen.

    For all we know, they see Jesus and their reaction is to say hello, which the scientists translate to "shoot"

    We later learned these neurons were some of the first placed in SkyNet AI.

    Reminds me of brains in a jar or similar shit from cartoons. 😅

    This phony BS again? Nobody has talked about this grift for months with good reason.

    Hooking up a meatwad to a "shoot" button and a left/right sensor is not "learning to play 'DOOM'". The video doesn't even show the meatwad playing except maybe for a few cherry picked seconds.

    The "biotech" grift preceded the "AI" grift but neither ever ended.

    Video sure looks like this, but they have the tech, they describe it like something that can actually be used to divide screen into NxM areas and send representation of each area to neurons for example. And even that would be extremely naive approach ofc. But that's beside the point. To me the most concerning thing here is that they already have this setup and it sounds like they even provide API to use it for external projects.

    Worlds first is kind of annoying. Because tbh I assumed this was the Thought Emporiums project ...

    But can you play doom on them though?
