Forget playing Doom on a calculator. Now you can play it with a clump of brain cells--no brainstem necessary.

In a wild experiment, it turns out a few human neurons linked up to some custom silicon can actually play Doom.

Living human neurons were trained to play Doom, extending the long-running engineering benchmark into biological computing.

How many brain cells does it take to play a game of DOOM?

Researchers at Australian start-up Cortical Labs have taught human neurons grown on a chip to play the classic Doom game. In 2021, they had already used 800,000 neurons to play Pong. Now, with four ...

Researchers at a Melbourne start-up have taught their “biological computer” made from living human brain cells to play Doom.

Brain Cells To Play Video Game Pong: In 2022, Australian biotech company Cortical Labs connected 800,000 brain cells in a petri dish to a computer and taught them to play the 1970s game Pong. Now, ...

Someone spent a couple of hours with the AI-generated vibe-coded operating system Vib-OS, and it's about as bad as you'd expect, probably worse.

A dish of living human neurons has been taught to play Doom. No, it isn’t conscious or watching the screen the way players do. But it is learning to respond to signals in a way that produces ...

How can we deal with all this abnormal normality? The constant sirens, the fearsome explosions, of missiles falling, or the IDF’s interception system working but resulting in shrapnel dispersal?

If you were to read the README of the Vib-OS project on GitHub, you’d see it advertised as a Unix-like OS that was written from scratch, runs on ARM64 and x86_64, and comes with a full GUI, ...
