What's fascinating about it? Was there anything specific you learned? Or just a general sense of curiosity of wanting to know more about what you're looking at? Wanting to understand it more? I ask, because it has no context and they make no attempt to tell you what we're looking at specifically. Ie, are they neurons? Neuronal connections? Etc. I explained it more in a previous comment. So, I'm just curious what a person with (presumably) little background in biology, or STEM in general would think of it. If they actually learn anything deeper than the fact that brains are complex systems. Or if there was anything about it you appreciated outside of the obvious aesthetic beauty of it. I'll admit that I'm skeptical of the academic value of this out of context clip with no explanation. That's why I'm asking. To figure out what, if anything IS of value to people who don't deal with this stuff on a regular basis.

I remember when we move into another workshop during my apprenticeship. The New build workshop feels strange it had so many corners you don't know what Lay behind and also the design of the building like it wasn't suited for a workshop but move for an office building In fact there are 2 buildings parallel to each other. One the so called workshop building you had a workshop with tables vices ,then a welding room on the right side, then a machine hall / machine shop left side with milling and turning machines and glas room which separate you from the machines . If you go back to the corridor and go further you end up in the changing room and toilets and one room with clean working clothes .At this time it could be straight from this backroom game where you have documents snd and then glitch through the ground. And also toilets and bathrooms it was strange designed it was linear so you don't have a corridor and connection doors no you go between . Changing room then bathroom then another Changing room like a corridor. If you go in the other building you have a Caféteria and if you go upstairs there is a corridor with rooms but the are not always connected with the corridor but more like this. You go in one room and then on the other side of the room there is another room. This specific space it feels like in the Stanley Parabel

Also consider that as amazing as this is, it's really just a very low resolution snapshot of that 1 cubic mm. It's an impressive feat, but there is vastly more detail and complexity happening in there. Chemical signaling, energy use and supply, and so on. No doubt the better we get at looking, the more we find. The level of detail left to visualize in just this 1 mm box is a task that is as monumental in size as replicating this low res view over the whole human brain. It's staggeringly complex.

When doing the histological slides it is sooooo incredibly fragile trimming the tissues and embedding for the slides. Getting to the point of staining and plating after microtomy is an art in itself.

I know 75k isn't enough for a consciousness but this tech will improve with time. In a few years we might be capable of recording much larger sections, then the entire mouse brain, then a cat, a chimp... a human.

You might even learn enough to realize that computers are as dumb as concrete, they don't learn and they aren't intelligent. We can program them to predict, but until we can even define consciousness, let alone understand how it happens, we're no better than fancy dressed monkeys poking sticks at stuff.

There's a lot more going on than is being visually expressed, from atomic to chemical to cellular. It's like an aerial view of a city, you can see all the buildings, but they're all made of bricks, windows, and a billion other parts. Now imagine you simulated that city with each building represented by a simple 3D rectangle. Now imagine trying to simulate the effects of an earthquake. It wouldn't give you accurate results without simulating all those bricks and windows and such. That's why truly simulating things like in this video, are still way off from reality. This is largely what separates AI from living beings. All these factors determine how a living system actually operates vs a simulation, and creates a disparity that the simulation cannot replicate.
