FPS using a single tensor processing unit and human testers were only able to distinguish genuine Clips lasting a few seconds from these generated Clips around 60% of the time now does this mean that we are essentially forcing a computer to hallucinate demons yes you truly can run doom on everything and the world's first online accessible bioprocessor is now available to almost anyone final Sparks neurop platform is a service that allows remote access to 16 human brain organoids basically little meatballs made from brain cells since we last reported on this in May final spark has now opened up paid 247 access to their weird wetwear for academic customers it costs $500 per month while industrial users can get a quote for access to a sin against nature I'm joking here brain organoids like this have been used in robotics research and are also helping search for a cure for Parkinson's Disease it's a welcome Redemption Arc for meatballs which are mostly known for causing heart disease it's $600 a month if you want it with oregano just don't ask them if they're alive and we're known to give you more Tech news if you come back on Friday that is it's like training your very own human
