Cortical Labs released CL1, a bio-computer using 800,000 lab-grown human neurons interfaced on a silicon chip.
Live neurons are sustained for up to 6 months via onboard life-support hardware (nutrients, temperature, waste control). Each neuron batch is donor-derived, enabling use-case variation (e.g., disease modeling, genetic diversity).
What do you think about human brain cells being used on a silicon chip?
🛢📈 — Reuters reports that oil is approaching $100 per barrel following the latest exchange of attacks between Americans and Iranians on oil tankers.
▶️The price of Brent crude has risen to $97.07 per barrel, while American WTI crude has risen to $92.28. In the past week, Brent has risen by 7.8%, while WTI has risen by nearly 10%.

▶️In this context, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has sharply declined. Over the past 10 days, an average of only 10 cargo ships have transited the strait per day – the lowest level since May.
The WHO now states on its website:
Vaccination against COVID-19 can trigger multiple sclerosis through cross-reactive CD4+-T cells that recognize the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and myelin peptides.
In other words: Your own immune system destroys the nerve pathways and then attacks your brain and spinal cord.
