    Maybe I missed it but my ultimate pet peeve of these articles about scientific breakthroughs is that they neither credit a single name of a scientist in their article nor even just putting a single link to the work. I know its likely behind a paywall (darn you scientific publishing), but still!

    I browsed a bit through Nature Communications and haven’t seen the article…

        If your understanding of “better” is following a single-party ideology, loss of freedom and individuality as well as censorship of speech, then yes, there are “better” models.

      Journalists barely cite anything. “A study from this organisation says this.” Don’t tell you when it was published, or link to the official website. Nada.

      Journalists are pretty trash at citing their sources on average. I think it’s wild most countries don’t seem to regulate this. It would do wonders for archives of news content so that you can actually follow up on the story to it’s source.

      Brain cells have already existed for millions of years. This is nothing revolutionary.

      Nah chief, it’s pretty groundbreaking. I mean we don’t know how to specifically target existing connections to strengthen the sheathe between existing brain cells, but connecting two brain cells at all, manually, is such a feat

    No possible way for this to be turned evil. Lab grown brains? Definitely could never be evil.

    This seems like a better candidate for AI, GPUs are just to energy inefficient.
