"..the company demonstrates “real neuron gameplay”: Doom running on its CL-1 neural computing system, a microchip upon which 200,000 human neurons are mounted in something called a “multi-electrode array.” (For comparison, while the exact number of neurons in an average human brain remains the subject of some debate, it’s in the order of tens of billions—which really just reinforces how astonishingly powerful and complex our own brains are.)

Anyway, this video is wild—and it just gets wilder as various company representatives explain exactly what’s going on.

First, the chip isn’t running Doom; it’s playing Doom. Or, to be more accurate, various elements of the on-screen data are being mapped to patterns of electric stimuli, which are then transmitted to the neurons. The neurons respond to these stimuli with signals of their own, which control the on-screen character’s actions: “If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, Doomguy shoots. If they fire in another pattern, he moves to the right. And so on.”

This is just insane.. skynet speed run

Edit: here’s their marketing video demonstrating the doom-playing organic chip:   .."
