Hmm.. reads like a scam. Human neurons made to work by interfacing with silicon? ehhh..don’t you have to learn how the brain/intelligence works first inorder to create something like this?
And on googling it seems like there isn’t enough talk about this on the internet (not on the scale as would be expected for something like this)..just random newssites subreddits..cortical labs’ own one and some random like r/interestingaf, futurology and such..nothing about how it actually works (or whether it works)
Yeah their main goal is to lure innocent investers.
Even I was about to mention the same as previous comments. It does appear little too sci-fi to be true. If it was really a breakthrough technology, then they should have shown benchmarks in training and performance against current SOTA networks. The bold claim about being better than current models and hardware sound like hollow words. They seem to have published something in Nature but looks more like a paid article locked behind publishers paywall.
The CL1 has not been peer reviewed but looks like the DishBrain system has peer reviewed (inconclusive) publications at https://www.cell.com/neuron/home The CL1 apparently is based on and/or is the commercial scale up of the DishBrain tech.

An easier to read article about DishBrain playing Pong
I know of a non-biological who made Digital India possible . Even that does not work as expected or intended .
This has been done in the 2000s they trained bio-neurons to run a flight simulator, the paper is there, I forgot exact details. There hasn’t been any revolutionary development since.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this company turns out to be the next Theranos. Their next generation computer is probably a “toy”
Looks like it took inspiration from Elon’s brain chip
