I have no mouth and I must scream.
Only if they confirm it can experience consciousness and tremendous amounts of pain will they deploy them on a large scale industrial 24/day meaningless jobs.
The system demands blood.It needs to have the intelligence of a 5 year old at minimum before we send it to the mines, so it can feel it
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel.
All hail the Omnessiah!
That raises a lot of ethical concerns. It is not possible to prove or disprove that these synthetic homunculi controllers are sentient and intelligent beings.
There are about 90 billion neurons on a human brain. From the article:
…researchers grew about 800,000 brain cells onto a chip, put it into a simulated environment
that is far less than I believe would be necessary for anything intelligent emerge from the experiment
In a couple years, they’ll be able to make Trump voters.
Some amphibians have less than two million.
And they are ceos!
Nah it’s okay. I was called all sorts of names and told I was against progress when I raised such concerns, so obviously I was wrong…

I am a poorly trained large language model with legs, nice to meet you.
Is there any actual evidence of any of this? Why not show some of the “brains-in-a-jar” walking around?
It’s just a bunch of huckster promotion, “infographics”, and phony pictures of Krang. The only actual photos are a few tiny petri dishes. There are no “brains” controlling robots.
The grift is strong and travels far beyond any national border.
Ah, the Torment Nexus is coming along nicely I see.
Murderbot.
Murrrderbooooot.
800,000 brain cells played pong.
Creepy.
That’s murderbot’s ancestor.
Has it asked for any soap operas yet?
A scant couple hundred thousand more brain cells and we’ll be there.
Cheap shot, I’ve never dared a soap opera myself.
Where are my testicles Summer?
Wait, why is his name Robobrain when his brain is the only non-robotic part? Either Robobody or Biobrain/Wetbrain would be more adequate names
You’ll have to ask General Atomics International.
This came up in my Discover feed and I initially assumed it was a fake news site. Unfortunately all the things in the article are indeed real (aside from the robo-brains which they note are mock ups). The brain cells learning to play Pong made the news last year. Combine this with the creepy as hell skin grafted onto a robot and you have nightmare fuel for life.
No way this is real. The brain looks like a gyro rotisserie.
