Is Neuroscience a Bigger Threat than Artificial Intelligence?

I posted about fusing Neanderthal brains to spiking neural networks here once. A HN poster threatened to get the Pope to stop me.

You have no idea how much more powerful neurology is over machine learning.

As we start to understand neurology sufficiently to simulate it, the two fields are converging. Eventually (soon?) they'll be seen as sub-fields of the study of intelligence.

(As for your fusing neural organoids to computers, there was a sci-fi story I read years ago that used this theme. There were human-level AIs that needed some integrated organic grey matter to perform some of their higher level functions. Wish I could remember what it was - although that description probably covers half a dozen stories by now.)
