    Brain organoids existed for a long time iirc

    After I saw the demo where a scientist tought it how fly a (simulated) plane, I thought it was going to be an alternative to AI. Sad that there hasn’t been much development in this space

    I’ve been enthusiastically watching The Thought Emporium build one

    So they culture different brain tissues and blood vessels separately and then glue them together manually. Are the resulting blood vessels fully functional, such that they could keep the organoid alive indefinitely?
