bit_user Sounds to me like they're only using living neurons in the early training phase, but they've got some way of replicating what those neurons did in the digital domain, for fine tuning and deployment at scale. That's an interesting idea, but I think it probably won't take long to unlock any secrets responsible for a performance advantage in biological neurons and replicate them in classical model architectures. Anyway, if I understand correctly, this is the most plausible play I've seen of utilizing neurons in AI tech at scale. Assuming their technology works and can scale to real-world models, of course.

Gururu We should be eating steaks made of neurons not spending millions on this boondoggle. Reply

It was even found that infected cow brains fed to chickens could result in chicken feces containing defective prions. Chicken feces are normally incorporated into cow feed, as the more efficient bovine digestive tract can extract residual nutrients from chicken waste. So, I guess bovine brains are now just treated as a waste product. Reply

Those proteins are crazy durable and can get around during processing. Reply

I didn't eat beef for an entire year! Then, I forgot and ate a bowl of chili that turned out to include ground beef in a German pub. Once I noticed, all I could do was hope it wasn't British beef! Not long after that, I decided to add it back into my diet, since the nightmare scenario of everyone getting mad cow disease didn't seem to be playing out. Reply
