This feels like the start of a sci-fi novel where everything goes deeply deeply wrong

    Is it possible for any one neuron to feel or think by itself?

    That's a philosophical question they have no real answer to and why they probably shouldn't fucking do this

    Thoughts are composed of a large number of neurons, similar to a computer composted of many circuits. There actually is a real answer to the question.

    Should add I’m not trying to be confrontational as you clearly are passionate about this. Just trying to keep it fact based.

    A single perceptron is proven to be able to solve a simple mathematical problem, so I don't think you can hand wave this away by assuming a thought has to have more neurons to be complex enough to be considered a "thought". That isn't a scientific fact or answer to the problem.

    “no.” is a complete sentence.

    nooooooooooooo! is a complete thought.

    is this a box in a lab screaming ‘nooooooooooo!’?

    i have fear for the future we’re sending our youth into.

    The people making these ought to install them in their own head to confirm whether these neurons remember any kind of suffering that may have occured.

    I have no mouth and I must scream.
