Counterpoint: a major use case for this technology would be to experiment on human brain structures to research and hopefully cure neurological diseases like Alzheimer's. If you want to cure Alzheimer's in humans, you might as well use human brain cells from the start.

But yes, I agree that they're likely using human brain cells mainly because it's attention-getting.

A more likely and immediate use case is having these mini humans autonomously pilot drones in which they'll kill big humans.
