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.
@user224 Or growing up a genius. You never know.
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
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!
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.
This is fine
Aw sweet, man made horrors beyond my comprehension.
This has both more potential and more pure horror than any of the bland AI stuff we’ve been obsessing over.
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.
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.
of course the military is interested in this… god.
We’re really trying to find a way to boost LLM performance, huh
I’m so glad I just ordered all of those sweet Cronenburg shirts
Great, but concerning…
I’m aware that we’re currently capable of reading the mind to some limited extent, using MRI-like machines and machine learning models trained on certain brain signals, but being able to literally utilise a brain for ‘arbitrary’ processing is on another level entirely 😳
I wonder what else this is capable of doing or running, and the expected shelf life in particular, seeing as it’s basically biological matter that I’m assuming can age.
Let’s hope these researchers keep things responsible and don’t try to run a text generation model on it 😅 /s
I don’t know if you understand what military funded means… It’s basically the military paying these guys to make something they can use in the military.
There is no doubt in my mind at least that all cute robots, useful AI, and other new things are just the public tip of the iceberg kind of a thing, to make people think it’s something positive and not be afraid.
The most advanced things will be used by law enforcement and military to control and monitor the populations in secret.
So while I like tech, I’m also convinced that humans are going to use it to make the planet horrible to live on, to the degree that “don’t get children” is the best advice ever.
I’m pretty sure if you just search the term “cyberpunk” you’d find at least five stories that start like this.
