Some Squishy Gel Can Beat You at Pong — Now What?

Scientists have built an inorganic squishy gel brain that can play pong.

We’re all doomed. Skynet is coming. Now, it’s just a matter of time before AI-enabled squishy gel brain robots will take your job, make humans obsolete, and then kill us.

“But that doesn’t mean that the material is sentient, or behaving deliberately – just that the material has retained an impression of a physical influence, something that can be said of the skin on your cheek after laying on a crinkly pillow.”

Squishy gel brain can’t think like us. Just like we can’t fly like a bird. Neither does it care about anything. Squishy gel brain will get its incentives from us, the humans. 

Let’s keep our eyes on the incentives.
