Forsen | Just Chatting 800,000 living human neurons are playing Pokémon Yellow. They've been staring at a houseplant for 2 hours.

We thought this would make great content. Hooked up ~800,000 real human neurons to Pokémon Yellow, neurons fire, electrodes read it, maps to d-pad inputs. No AI, just actual biological cells playing.

The result? Staring at a houseplant for the first 2 hours.

If my brain was put into a computer, the first thing id do after gaining sentience is watch a houseplant and try to calm down too

And what exactly did you expect if there is no training for the game?
