So my question is, where were the neurons obtained from?

from their pages:

"High-performance closed-loop system where real neurons interact with software in real time. A robust environment keeps neurons alive for up to 6 months."

the rest from AI:

"Cortical Labs primarily uses human neurons that are grown from stem cells, which are derived from blood cells. These neurons are cultured on a silicon chip to create their biological computing systems"

Thanks for doing the research mejbcart!

Sounds like the Head in CS Lewis’s novel “That Hideous Strength”. Gross.

Or... Data Centers are the Water & Power stations for the underground bunkers.

They are re-routing the water to supply their underground cities.

"To maintain humanity under 500million" - Georgia Guidestones.

Rivers and lakes all over the country are at RECORD LOW levels. What is causing it? Climate Change? Hardly. The Arctic is MELTING. Greenland has lost 20% of it's ice density. Glaciers are disappearing from Siberia.

Ten of the glaciers in the U.S. Glacier National Park are gone!

The Arctic is melting. So there's plenty of water. Where's it going? Why are our lakes and rivers drying up?

And why are Data Centers siphoning 1million gallons of water a day into...'Data Centers'???

We still have power at the local level. Find out now where your water comes from, and where its going. The City of Coachella just stopped what would have been the biggest Data Center in California.

I believe this may be true...they've never been able to tell us definitively how data centers will help us...and I don't believe them when they say they're air cooled not water cooled...(what they're telling my mid-sized Texas city council for the planned centers to appease the citizenry). Here's an interesting data point supporting your claim that they're sucking water below ground: Fort Stockton Texas Comanche Springs dried up completely during the 1960s "due to Irrigation projects and excessive well drilling by farmers". However; if you Google DUMBS map, you'll find an older black and white map of DUMBS crisscrossing the US. And there's one at Ft Stockton, TX. " Comanche Springs, located in Fort Stockton, Texas, has a rich history dating back to Pre-Columbian times, serving as a vital water source for Native Americans and later for settlers and military fortifications. The springs were significant for irrigation and supported a diverse ecosystem until they ceased flowing in the early 1960s due to over-extraction of groundwater."

This sounds like the plot of a scary science fiction movie, only it's real!

But, hey, what could go wrong?

Mark's avatar

It was funny science fiction back in 1983 in Steve Martin's The Man With Two Brains, but now that its real it is indeed getting scary!

Won’t these human nerve cells be vulnerable to certain viruses??

Mark Brody's avatar

I hope they are feeding these transhuman Frankenstein machines lots of fluoride, glyphosate, aluminum, GMO's, aluminum, and mRNA vaccines as it is essential to keep them as healthy as possible!

What could go wrong?

OMG I'm grossed out.

It would be important to confirm this story, before accepting it as genuine. Plenty of companies hype their unfinished projects.

No need to worry about conscious machines though. Consciousness cannot be created out of on-off switches, no matter how complex. The hive mind, tapping into humans to use their brains as a controllable computer and their bodies as batteries, has always seemed part of the agenda. Singapore computer(if it exists) is a step in that direction, although it is a bit clumsy to be creating blood and oxygen support systems when you have all these "useless eaters" hanging around without jobs. Why not just use them instead? Now we can see the Matrix film as a piece of predictive programming. Machines might make war against humans, but they will never replace humans because they cannot (no matter how much they simulate it) become conscious. Just don't swallow your iWatch.

They won't need to surgically install no chips in anybody. The hardware is already installed in your brain to varying degrees. The system is already up and running.

I have always said they don't need all that AI infrastructure to flip burgers at McDonalds, or make gay porn films for vaccine victims..... no. It's all about mind control. We are the Borg now. Resistance is futile. You WILL be absorbed!

I can understand why the techies are scared. These hybrid human machines have feelings, emotions, sensory abilities or will develop soon. We are past the embryonic stages now.

Consciousness is a fascinating subject. Does consciousness operate inside our brains or outside of us? No one knows. However, our cells can communicate with the outside world using quantum mechanics. Are we linked to other particles using Quantum Entanglement, where two quantum particles can affect each other, even over immensely long distances? In other words, is consciousness in a quantum cloud, like our Internet data? The quantum world operates in fields, so is there a consciousness field?

Physics is starting to think it might be. It could answer big questions about consciousness and probably rule out the idea of creating a synthetic conscious being.

When my body fails can I donate my brain and have a second life?

Mark's avatar

You certainly can! It was accomplished back in 1983 by Steve Martin in The Man With Two Brains.

"Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr, a widowed brain surgeon discovers he can communicate telepathically with one of Dr. Alfred Necessiter's brains, that of Anne Uumellmahaye, when they both sing Under the Bamboo Tree":

This is from the 80's Teminator film all the way to Matrix. In black and white. Blessings to the Father in heaven Remnant.

This neuron development is sheer stupidity in my opinion. People involved in new ways to create wealth. The Creator made the human body...and provides the simple answers people need...free of charge. People are using up the resources our Creator provided for all life ...for their own personal benefit without giving one thought to the One who created our world,

Wow. Very concerning. As conspiracy analyst David Icke says: human brains are biological computers. He also says we are part of infinite consciousness having a human experience.
