Cortical Labs grew 200,000 human neurons in a lab and kept them alive on a silicon chip, they taught the neurons to play Pong, then DOOM
now someone wired them into a LLM... real brain cells firing electrical impulses to choose every token the AI generates
you can see which channels were stimulated, the feedback from the neurons in choosing that letter or word
Going into 2026, this job title is quietly growing in demand & most people still aren't familiar with it.

If hiring feels harder than it used to, it's probably not the talent pool.
