• Hook 1 should say 'brain cells' for specificity & interest. Alt1&2 should be either eight hundred thousand or 800,000 per MOS:NUMBER. Pong should be capitalized and italicized; although the computers were technically trained on a Pong lookalike, the statement is still true. Alt1 is sort of awkward, might work better as ... that Cortical Labs has marketed 'wetware computers' made from 800,000 human neurons per unit?

  Article is new, long enough, cited to reliable sources, and passed Earwig (5.7%, nice.) Hooks are cited upon first appearance. Overall, the article is close to presentable, however, you do need to run through it again to capitalize & properly italicize proper nouns: like Forbes in a cite and again, Pong, which is not italicized in the prose too. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! chickenpox4dinner (talk · contribs · email) 22:48, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

, I'm marking this for closure. The nominator has edited about 50 times since this feedback and a notice on their user talk was left on 22 July and they have not responded here. TarnishedPath^talk 08:43, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
