Last year, Monash University scientists created the "DishBrain" – a semi-biological computer chip with some 800,000 human and mouse brain cells lab-grown into its electrodes. Demonstrating something like sentience, it learned to play Pong within five minutes.

    It also has the potential of hurting the potential mother long-term.

            Oh, right, because we judge intelligence based on comments made on the internet. How could I have forgotten?

            Also, this isn’t Mastodon. I’m proud to say I’ve never tooted in my life.

              “Toot” is a silly word invented to make Mastodon seem like Twitter. However “tweet” is equally ridiculous.

              We already have a word - “comment” - which is universally understood. Also has the added benefit of not being conceived by some Silicon Valley marketing genius.
