🇨🇳 CHINA BUILT A ROBOT WITH A HUMAN BRAIN

Chinese scientists grew a cerebral organoid — a mini brain made from human stem cells — and connected it to a robot.

Not just for show: the brainlet controls physical movement, dodges obstacles, grabs objects, and even shows signs of synaptic plasticity — meaning it can learn and adapt based on experience.

They embedded it into a brain-on-chip system, combining neural tissue with silicon circuitry — essentially a hybrid bio-digital processor.

This could revolutionize neuroscience, drug testing, and AI development.

But it also drags us straight into Blade Runner territory: machines that don’t simulate thought, but actually have it.

The ethical red flags are everywhere:

What counts as consciousness?

Where’s the line between tool and entity?

Are we growing minds to serve machines?

Cool? Yes.

Chilling? Also yes.
