Editor’s Note: There was a time when shocking news like this was dismissed by “rational” people because we assumed it was just fodder for conspiracy theorists. I used to be one of those people and I would have skipped the article below without it even registering. But after reading it and doing my own research, I learned that it’s not only accurate but if anything it doesn’t highlight the insane possibilities nearly enough. I’ll be talking about this on my Monday episode of The JD Rucker Show. In the meantime, here’s Michael Snyder…
(End of the American Dream)—When I first started researching this, I could hardly believe that it was true. A company in Switzerland known as “Final Spark” has constructed a bizarre hybrid biocomputer that combines lab-grown miniature human brains with conventional electronic circuits.
This approach saves an extraordinary amount of energy compared to normal computers, but there is a big problem. The lab-grown miniature human brains keep wearing out and dying, and so scientists have to keep growing new ones to replace them.
Stem cells that are derived from human skin tissue are used to create the 16 spherical brain “organoids” that the system depends upon. I realize that this sounds like something straight out of a really bad science fiction movie, but it is actually happening.
Scientists at Final Spark are calling their hybrid computer “the Neuroplatform”, and it is being reported that it only uses “a fraction of the energy required to power a traditional set up”…
Swiss tech startup FinalSpark is now selling access to biocomputers that combine up to four tiny lab-grown human brains with silicon chips.
This new bioprocessing platform, called the Neuroplatform, uses small versions of human brains to do computer work instead of silicon chips. The company says it can fit 16 of these mini-brains onto the Neuroplatform and use a fraction of the energy required to power a traditional set up.
The platform, currently adopted by nine institutions, integrates hardware, software and biology to construct a processing system that is energy-efficient and high-performing.
This “breakthrough” is being hailed as a way to save a gigantic amount of energy. But what about the lab-grown human brains that are being enslaved to run the Neuroplatform?
Each of the 16 mini-brains is made up of approximately 10,000 living neurons, and they are kept alive by a “microfluidics system that supplies water and nutrients for the cells”…
Rather than merely integrating biological concepts into computing, FinalSpark’s online platform ‘taps’ into spherical clusters of lab-grown human brain cells called organoids. A total of 16 organoids are housed within four arrays that connect to eight electrodes each and a microfluidics system that supplies water and nutrients for the cells.
The approach, known as wetware computing, in this case harnesses researchers’ abilities to culture organoids in the lab, a fairly new technology that allows scientists to study what are essentially mini replicas of individual organs.
During their short lives, the mini-brains are literally trained to perform certain tasks using a reward and punishment system…
Researchers do this by training the organoids through a reward system. The organoids are rewarded with dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for pleasure (and addiction).
Meanwhile, as “punishment,” the organoids are exposed to chaotic stimuli, such as irregular electrical activity.
If the enslaved mini-brains do what they are supposed to do, they are rewarded with lots of pleasure.
If the enslaved mini-brains do not do what they are supposed to do, they are hit with lots of “irregular electrical activity”.
In other words, these miniature human brains are tortured until they learn to obey. Reading that should literally make you sick.
What these scientists are doing is so incredibly evil. Final Spark claims that the miniature human brains use “a million times less power than their silicon counterparts”…
Swiss technology firm Final Spark has successfully launched Neuroplatform, the world’s first bioprocessing platform where human brain organoids (lab-grown miniaturized versions of organs) perform computational tasks instead of silicon chips.
The first such facility hosts the processing prowess of 16 brain organoids, which the company claims uses a million times less power than their silicon counterparts.
Final Spark hopes that their new “technology” will become the primary energy source for the AI revolution.
Because at this point training AI models uses a colossal amount of conventional energy…
According to Final Spark’s estimates, training the popular large language model GPT-3 that powered ChatGPT in its initial days alone consumed 10 GWh of energy. This is a whopping 6,000 times more energy than an average European city consumes in an entire year.
Replacing silicon chips with bioprocessors could lead to drastic energy savings. Final Spark allows research labs to experience the power of biological processors on the Neuroplatform.
To a lot of people out there, this is going to sound really great.
Final Spark insists that the processor that it has created will use a million times less energy compared to a normal silicon chip.
There is just one enormous problem.
The mini-brains keep dying and must be regularly replaced.
At first they would die “in just a few hours”, but now they are apparently living for up to 100 days…
Final Spark faced many challenges in its early years since the organoids would die in just a few hours. The company has worked on this shortcoming and improved its MEA systems to ensure that organoids live for 100 days.
These “organoids” are literally worked to death.
They are hooked up to electrodes and worked until they can work no more…
Final Spark has made working these varied components possible through an innovative setup called Multi-Electrode Arrays (MEAs), where the three-dimensional masses of brain tissue are placed.
Each MEA has four brain organoids that interface with eight electrodes. These electrodes perform the dual role of stimulating the organoids and recording the data they process.
Data transfer is done through digital analog converters with a 16-bit resolution and a 30 kHz frequency. A microfluidic system provides life support for the MEAs, and cameras can monitor their overall operation.
Have you ever seen “The Matrix”? I was reminded of that film as I researched all of this.
Just like in that movie, human energy powers the entire system. And just like in that movie, those that power the system are enslaved.
The creators of “the Neuroplatform” insist that this is perfectly okay because the mini-brains are not sentient beings.
Whether that is true or not, what they are doing is still very wrong.
Creating miniature human brains and using them to power a computer may be a way to save a lot of energy, but it also perfectly illustrates how far our society has fallen.
We are crossing lines that should never be crossed, and eventually we will pay a very great price for the crimes that our scientists are committing.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
No doubt we’re in the end times. God will not let this go unpunished. I just don’t get how this works. It sounds like they have some kind of consciousness in order to cooperate. How is this not human rights abuse? This enduring patiently is not working for me, Lord.
Tell me the difference between this act as compared to having “your slaves” procreate so you can eventually send their offspring into the fields to work as slaves? I see none and am sickened by the state of fallen humanity. Surely, by the “Second Coming” most of humanity will be worthy of Hell.
The ‘people’ doing this better be deposited in a prison far from normal people.
How do they know the brains are not sentient? And why wouldn’t they be? Science has become just a tool of evil
True, it has been the “end times” since Jesus rose from the tomb and went – flesh and bone – up to Heaven. This is vile, to be sure. However, until the 3rd temple is built and the anti-Christ figure (the man – not the spirit of the anti-Christ that has always been among us) creates his false Armageddon in order to deceive the whole world, we are on this ride and cannot get off. So, just add one more thing to the list that WE will have to “correct” when our day comes to fight back. Add all the poisoned GMO food developers to the list too, and the mad scientists mixing jellyfish genes with monkeys and spider DNA with salmon, etc. And then there’s Bill Gates and his insane abominations. Add it to the list – and PRAY – that Almighty God will deliver them all to kneel at our feet without us having to do something drastic – but with the caveat that we should probably all sell our coats, buy swords and be ready to do something drastic if all other options become exhausted. I, for one, will die on my feet rather than live on my knees – but it will be a time and place of my choosing. For now, we need to LIVE for those we love who are too ignorant and dismissive to see this evil for what it is.
This is One reason why when I die I want to be thoroughly cremated so none of these mad scientists can use any part of me to play with in their mad-scientist schemes at ALL.
I know this sounds creepy as hell, but on another level, it is fascinating. Just one hundred short years ago, we didn’t even have television. Now they are melding humans with circuitry? You have to wonder that if this went on for a hundred more years, what would humanity be? Kind of looking like it’s time to pull the plug on all of us, or sit back and see where this goes.
The human mind is the most powerful and efficient computer ever created. Super computers are VERY good at doing a few things. Our minds are ASTOUNDINGLY good at doing thousands of things. Super computers require up to 10 megawatts of power available to keep them running. All biofunctions of the human body use ~100 watts, 20 of which are used for brain function. It’s truly remarkable.
I say all that to say this… these “organoids” are not human brains. They are groups of neurons. They are cells being bathed in a nutrient solution and hooked to microvolt controllers. The cells operate autonomously. There is no controlling entity. There is no “mind” at play. There is no will that is being imposed upon or forced to act. There is no sentients. There are no pain receptors. Being derived from simple skin cells, there’s not even a loss of life to grieve over in their production.
It’s no wonder that technology fields want to use human neurons for computing power. We have ZERO understanding about how to synthetically replicate their efficiency, so we do the next closest thing. We grow them in the most harmless way possible and use them like simple biomechanical machines.
Anyone put off by this is doing the same thing that folks do when they think their pet “loves” them. They’re anthropomorphizing these cells to grant them qualities they CAN NEVER possess.
You are a marvelous being. You were made that way by a loving creator. The thing that grants the spark of “life” is not anything humans will ever achieve. This is left to God, and God alone. Therefore, unless we follow God’s methods for life, we’ll never create anything “alive”. These cells are not conscious humans, at any developmental stage, and never will be. They are bio-machines. They’re no more worthy of your worry than the millions of skin cells you sloughed off while reading this.
Researchers do this by training the organoids through a reward system. The organoids are rewarded with dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for pleasure (and addiction).
Meanwhile, as “punishment,” the organoids are exposed to chaotic stimuli, such as irregular electrical activity.
TC guess you missed this part of the article?
Hopefully, they’re incorporating multiple races of brain tissue, because diversity, inclusion and equity (DIE) is all that matters nowadays.
(^^^sarcasm^^^)
See where this is going ? Brains need replacement. It takes a lot a valuable time to grow brains. Solution: Harvest human brains. Imagine one day you wake up, you’re deaf, dumb, and blind. You’re totally paralyzed. Yet you are conscience in a void. You are the harvested brain.
The human mind and a digital computer are two very different things. The computer is faster and more reliable than the human brain but very limited when it comes to reasoning and creativity (regardless of what they tell you about AI).
If they can reward or torture the brain to get it to change behavior, then I would think it is consciousness and someone has crossed a line when dealing with a human brain. I think they are already sliding head-first down the slippery slope. Ecclesiastes 1:9, New King James Version. And there is nothing new under the sun. See also the Book of Enoch, and
Luke 17:26, New King James Version, And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man . . .
Genesis 6, New International Version
2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. . . .
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
So much for AI huh?
Sounds like something in furtherance of the WEF’s stated goal of achieving immortality, through the use of avatars.
This Goes Beyond Evil. These So Called Scientist Should Be Publicly EXPOSED, Publicly Humiliated and Thrown In Jail For The Ret of Their Disgusting, Miserable Lives. These Mini Brans are ALIVE and They Are Living Beings With Feelings, Emotions and Intelligence That These Disgusting Scientist are Using and Exploiting. What If Pats of Their Brains Was Used In This Manner How Would These Scientist Feel about That? The Problem is These Satanic Humans Have No Boundaries, Morals or Common Sense. They Need To Be Removed From Society, Because They Have No Respect For LIFE. How is This Ethically and Morally able To Happen? Where Are The GUIDELINES For These Psychopathic, MAD Scientist and Why Haven’t They Been Placed Underneath a Jail Cell?
