Torment Nexus type beat. This feels like an artifact of the old idea that the brain stands alone from the body somehow when in fact the neural system is highly integrated with every other part of the body. That shit from the other day about how adjusting the gut microbiome can reduce psychological symptoms of autism for instance. What are we actually gaining by dosing nonfunctional brains with mystery drugs?
???
There’s like seventy different ways this could be useful. You can tell if a drug is absorbed by the right parts of the brain, how long a drug stays in neural tissue, and just have a better result for the same kinds of tests you would get from neural tissue testing.
What’s more suspect is that this is an ai tech startup.
With our research on disembodied human brains and the impacts of various psychoactive chemicals on its functioning, we’ve trained a neural-network that can help us align our AI models in such a way that induce similar levels of psychoactivity simply through active engagement with our large language models.
there’s no physical or biological reason to think a standalone brain is conscious of anything. by the time we’re scooping a brain out of a skull the processes that make someone a person are long gone and this isn’t much different from hooking electrodes up to muscle tissue.
