Turns out they aren’t that good but still interesting.

I wonder what other things register in/with lab grown brain cells (from a mix of unidentified species's stem cells mixed with mice embryos) that can play games and how much more of a carcass is needed (how long they need it to grow into some unidentified new secret science species) for the brain cells to become and stay active.... They always leave out the good stuff we NEED to know while telling us what They prefer we know and thank them for

Were the brain cells asked if they wanted to play pong?

This is a little frightening. Are there any ethical considerations when using brain matter in this manner?

I cannot speak. I must pong, too.

Imagine taking someone from 2019 and fast forwarding them into 2022. They would think they were either high or a science fiction character.

How long before they start harvesting from people to pilot spaceships between solar systems?

"These 800,000 lab-grown brain cells can play a 1970s video game, albeit badly"

It probably wants to ragequit already and is all like "I have no mouth, and I must scream".
