Does a ALU detect pain? Yes. Does it feel pain? No.
Just because it’s organic circuits, doesn’t mean they suddenly develop consciousness. That requires secific circuitry and data processing facilities. Organoids are far from sufficient.
Let’s not pretend we understand the mechanics of consciousness. If you can prove what is required for consciousness, there’s at least a Nobel prize in it for you.
So glad someone already said it. I’m a neuroscience PhD student who works with brain organoids and the article is absolutely ridiculous.
Also, I’m not aware of any labs or research that has been able to produce brain organoids with functional blood vessels. Having a necrotic core is normal for old organoids.
Reasoning.
