We can implement software on biological hardware
So in the wide west of biological research we can now grow ‘mini brains’ in a dish. These clusters of neurons in a dish can then be trained just like a computer neural network to implement the game pong.

That is wild from a philosophical point of view! If we can implement software on top of biological hardware the corollary of that is we can implement consciousness on computer silicon based hardware.
