If abortion is banned because a cell cluster is human, this should be banned too
As if it ever was about the cluster of cells and not the oppression of others…
But now we can technologically enforce the oppression! Isn’t that great? You’ll be implanted with the birthwisher 4000 so you won’t even know, that you don’t want to carry the product of rape in your womb!
I think a large number of conservative Christians would find this abhorrent, but they are unlikely to know about it. If their sources do report on it the democrats will likely be blamed.
It also has the potential of hurting the potential mother long-term.
The sperm in my balls could be the next Einstein. But I’m gonna beat my meat and cum in a tissue and there’s nothing you can do to stop me. Mwa ha ha ha!!!
@photonic_sorcerer Maybe. But you didn’t show that genius potential in your toot.
Oh, right, because we judge intelligence based on comments made on the internet. How could I have forgotten?
Also, this isn’t Mastodon. I’m proud to say I’ve never tooted in my life.
“Toot” is a silly word invented to make Mastodon seem like Twitter. However “tweet” is equally ridiculous.
We already have a word - “comment” - which is universally understood. Also has the added benefit of not being conceived by some Silicon Valley marketing genius.
Killbot industry: “We would never let a machine make the final decision. There’ll always be a human element involved”
Human element:
The homeopathy of ethical compliance
So if the paddle hit the ball, the cells would receive a nice, predictable stimulus. But if it missed, the cells would get four seconds of totally unpredictable stimulation.
Ah yes, my second step after building biological AI is definitely “torture it”. This is sure to end well.
Dudun Dun Dudum. Dudun Dun Dudum.
The DishBrain’s advanced learning capabilities, in other words, could underpin a new generation of machine learning, particularly when embodied in autonomous vehicles, drones, and robots. It could give them, says Razi, “a new type of machine intelligence that is able to learn throughout its lifetime.”
literally motherfucking cylons, y’all
Keep them toasters outta my car!
This is fine
Aw sweet, man made horrors beyond my comprehension.
I feel like this was the origin story for the computer in I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream.
It’s more like the origin story for the Cymeks in Dune. Although they were at least human once.
People worry about AI taking over the world when it will probably be human machine hybrids deciding ‘yeah fuck humans’ in their giant killer Mechs.
This has both more potential and more pure horror than any of the bland AI stuff we’ve been obsessing over.
Why can’t we get Jurassic Park before biological AI?
Dinosaurs, while neat, do not bring sufficient profits for the offense industry.
I’d like to see how the Russians handle raptors.
I still feel that silicone is more reliable than dealing with organic matter that can die.
How do they keep it alive. Do you need to feed it or keep it in special conditions? With time, as the cells age, would you lose performance?
Once a bunch of nuclear warheads enter puberty we’re all fucked.
That’s why we need science fiction, to not be afraid of all the abhorrent and abhorrently efficient weapons the future holds for us.
And yes, Star Wars is a very perceptive choice of name on part of George Lucas.
The scary part is that we all sit on our sweaty bottoms while such things are being developed not by bad guys and good guys to fight each other over us, but by bad guys and bad guys to fight each other over us.
idk man, at no point do any two or more stars fight each other /s
of course the military is interested in this… god.
I’m so glad I just ordered all of those sweet Cronenburg shirts
I’m pretty sure if you just search the term “cyberpunk” you’d find at least five stories that start like this.
I wonder, at the point where it’s neurons making up a very small piece of tissue, what benefit human cells give over something like a pig (the article does say human and mouse, but still).
