        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.

      @neko @boem The fetus cluster has the potential of developing into a human, if left alone in the womb. A brain cell does not AFAIK.

            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!!!

                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.

    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.

    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.”

      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.

    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?

    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.

    I’m pretty sure if you just search the term “cyberpunk” you’d find at least five stories that start like this.
