Is The Thought Emporium real? ( www.youtube.com )

cross-post: lemmy.world/post/1426387

I stumbled upon this channel long time ago. Since then he claims to have Grown Real Spider Silk Using Yeast or taught rat neurons to play Doom.
The way he presents the content doesn’t sound like a complete fantasy but my understanding of the topics is very rudimentary.

What do Lemmy biologists think about this channel?

And what do Lemmy scientists in general think?

Never heard of this channel, but either of those two claims would be a huge advancement in multiple fields, so the fact that it’s not being reported or published anywhere else is a pretty big indication that his claims are bunk.

Like I said, I don’t know that for sure and I haven’t watched the videos, but I do keep current on most big advancements and I’ve heard nothing about either of these.

his claims aren’t advancements in any field, he’s just applying stuff we already knew before to a YouTube format
