I think this is a huge step towards the singularity

Nah. They just play pong, that can be also controlled with a few resistors and transistors. It's just a huge step in the linkbait direction.

This is the first time a cultured neuronal network has been integrated with a silicon computer chip. This is more than linkbait. Pong is just the beginning.
