CCNT “Mini-Brain’s & Bio-hacked to Death” - 06.27.2018
Professors at UCSD have created a mini-brain from neanderthal tissue. They also have plans to take that flesh and put them into robots. No this is not science fiction. And biohackers are happily turning their lives over to the transhumanist cause. Their battle cry stands on the shoulders of conspiracy theorists who suggest the FDA and other government agencies are in bed with big Pharma, to keep people sick and in need of their medical products and services. And finally, Flippy gets an AI update, as the robot revolution has truly arrived.
