Living Human Neurons Learned to Play Doom. Then Researchers Wired Them Into an LLM.
Cortical Labs' CL1 — 200,000 living human neurons grown on a microelectrode array — learned to play Doom earlier this year. In March, the company wired the neurons into a large language model so the cells' firing patterns help select the model's output. It's an early, strange proof of concept for hybrid biological-digital computing, not a sentient chip. But it's real, and it's moving fast.
