Here's an interesting rabbit hole to go down.

Why use silicon chips when you can use actual brain cells for computing (aka organoid intelligence)?

I'll admit that combining human cells and computers weirds me out a little (though that might be a gross oversimplification of what's actually happening here), but this is still a pretty cool experiment.

That basically sums it up. Human cells use far less energy than conventional chips, but they don't seem to last very long. I'm curious how this will play out.
