Let me explain what just happened, because I don’t think people realize how INSANE this is. > Cortical Labs put 200,000 real human brain cells onto a silicon chip and trained them to play Doom in just one week. > Each CL1 system costs $35,000. > A rack of 30 units consumes only 850–1,000 watts combined. > The human brain operates on 20 watts. > Large AI training clusters burn through megawatts. >Backed by In-Q-Tel. 115 units began shipping in 2025. > Cortical Labs is selling “Wetware as a Service” through Cortical Cloud, letting developers deploy code remotely to living human neurons with no lab required, > priced like a software subscription but powered by real brain cells grown from adult skin and blood samples. > it isn’t about gaming, it’s about biological computing that could eventually outperform traditional silicon in energy efficiency and adaptability. This is getting really scary and we’re still at the very beginning.
