It's just wild.

And companies immediately jumped on this, like Cortical Labs, which was founded by Han Wang Chung and Brett Kagan.

They created something they called Dish Brain.

Dish Brain, yeah.

They have no hands to operate a keyboard.

Yet Brett Kagan, the chief operating officer at Cortical Labs, led a massive experiment where these isolated neurons were supposedly playing the 1972 Atari game pong.

That's the headline that broke the Internet.

Let me push back on this, though.

Okay.

So how did they get it to play Pong?

Brett Kaganow's Pong experiment was brilliant precisely because it abandoned the idea of programming and leaned entirely into those biological imperatives.

They didn't write a script for the cells.

So Cortical Labs is the Australian startup behind this technology being tested in Singapore.

The company's chief scientific officer, Brett Kagan, told Euronews earlier this year that this technology is, quote, incredibly energy efficient.

We humans don't require huge amounts of data.

So can you explain how this could be more energy efficient?
