Google and Harvard Map a Tiny Piece of the Human Brain With Extreme Precision. Source: Singularity Hub by Shelly Fan. Quote from article: “Using a machine like a deli-meat slicer armed with a diamond knife, the Harvard team, led by connectome expert Dr. Jeff Lichtman, meticulously sliced the sample into 5,019 cross sections.

Comparisons: GPT-4 Turbo and more. This GPT-4o is to me made available in the free tier. There can be “hallucinations” but this happens with people too, think of charming, grandiosity.
