I need that. I burned through most of mine during a 1977 Pink Floyd concert.

That sounds both dystopian and amazing. Bio-neural-CPU's when?

Playing doom.

Middle of a boss fight.

Holy shit I’m gonna do it…

Stutter.

Stutter.

Looping audio.

Black screen.

I forgot to feed my cpu.

Kick computer in frustration.

Printer sends out 911 text message.

Arrested for attempted murder.

Old judge gives me life in prison because “all human life is sacred”

The server is down

Have you tried rebooting it?

No, it's depressed and wants a hug.

All those times you thought you were making spaghetti was actually brain tissue

Obviously it's over hipped news, but, would it be ethical to print neutral network brains made of human cells? How about the question... How many chicken brain cells does it take to do the same job as a given amount of human cells? And if that number is 3 or 46, does that mean that we are 3 or 46 times smarter on average than a chicken? Or maybe 1 human vote is 45 times a chicken's? 1/45th vote rule?

How many human brain cells do we need to guide a missile?

Will the missile know that Osama has be gone for a while? Is it going to get bored just hanging from an F14 all day? Will it go off if it's depressed? Is it male or female? Will you feel bad if it's a really sexy female missile? How do you grow up a missile control neutral network? Do you have to have the birds and bees talk with your missile? If Johny the missile jumps off the empire State building, does your missile have to hump from the empire State building? Gosh! So many questions!

Do female missiles have a period? Can two missiles that really love each other have baby missiles? Do they go off when they go off? Where does daddy missile work? Does he cheat with mommy missile?

Ethics? Who the fuck is ethics! /s

But seriously, the Thought Emporium is a great channel. If you wish to feel amazed and inspired, grab a drink, dial down the lights and binge a few videos in a row.
