Oh no! DemocRAT computers!!! God help us!
Swiss Miss, Instant computers, with mini-brains to go!...................
I think I saw this movie...
“The organoids are rewarded with dopamine...”
LOL...feeding our first wetware with dope to train it. Maybe there’ll be a bigger market for all the fentanyl pouring into the country than we knew.
Ping
Just like the punishment the Democrats expose us to -- a fractured, chaotic society where up and down cease to exist.
Catholic Ping.
I am all for making computers more power efficient but I am not willing to do so by perverting the that which God made in his image to do so.
As long as they are growing brains, perhaps they could transplant some that work into Democrats.
Dr. Jill has ordered a dozen of the mini-brains for Flatlinejoe to help get him through the next debate.
“Researchers do this by training the organoids through a reward system. The organoids are rewarded with dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for pleasure (and addiction). “
Are these things self aware? One might infer that they are from the above statement.
Why use human brains?
Reminds me of “The Feeling of Power”, a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov. The story first appeared in the February 1958 issue of If: Worlds of Science Fiction.
Notable theme “Manned Missiles” because their trajectories were so unpredictable and that they were so much cheaper than expensive computer guided ones.
When will we start seeing “manned drones” that can evade air defense systems in Ukraine and Russia?
The only drawback is it keeps going to Pron sites ,LOL
“This is wrong on so many levels. “
Why is it wrong?
My first thought of a movie for this article was Saturn 3 with Kirk Douglas.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079285/
In the future, Earth is overcrowded and the population relies on distant bases to be fed. In the Saturn 3 station, Major Adam (Kirk Douglas) and the scientist Alex (Farrah Fawcett), who is also his lover and has never been on Earth, have been researching hydroponics for three years in the base alone with their dog Sally.
Meanwhile, the psychotic Captain Benson (Harvey Keitel) fails the mental test required to travel to Saturn 3 and kills his replacement, Captain James, taking his place in the mission of assembling and programming the Demi-God series robot Hector to replace one of the scientists in Saturn 3.
On the arrival, the mentally disturbed Captain Benson becomes sexually obsessed for Alex. Then he uses an interface to link his brain to program Hector, but incapable to control his emotions, he transfers his homicidal tendency and insanity to Hector. Now Major Adam and Alex are trapped in the station with a dangerous psychopath robot.
“Why use human brains?”
They aren’t.
I asked the same question.
Why not mice, rabbits, pigs or any other kind of brain?
I remember that story.
I didn’t think of it in this context, but you are right.
Human brains are cheaper to operate than silicone chips so we will use them.
Makes economic sense but is morally repugnant.
As usual money wins.
Because humans were made in God's image.
Adulterating that which is made in God's image is an affront to God.
