Re: Yet another step closer to Cortex Command in real life coooll....
too bad its gonna die... isnt it a bit unethical to make a living creature just to study it? |

It's artificial intelligence which uses biological material, not a baby And I wouldn't really care if it were a baby either, so long as the parent consents. Better than abortion, isn't it? |

Re: Yet another step closer to Cortex Command in real life Well, we can assume, seeing as it doesn't have an actual brain iirc.

Re: Yet another step closer to Cortex Command in real life It's highly unlikely to have a conscience as it looks like it has the brainpower of a lobotomised rat (literally).

Re: Yet another step closer to Cortex Command in real life Too bad its not really a biological brain. It's just a neural slime, for lack of a better phrase. They threw some neurons on some PCB in order to see what happened.
Hebbian learning is cool, I guess. |

Re: Yet another step closer to Cortex Command in real life I honestly doubt that this would be qualified as real development in artificial intelligence per see since, as THOR stated, its a few cells on a pcb. But all things considered its better than nothing.

Re: Yet another step closer to Cortex Command in real life Actually, I think the point is that it is not "artificial" intelligence.

Re: Yet another step closer to Cortex Command in real life You could find quite a few nomenclatures if you want, the point is that its a robotic interface with a semi-intelligent brain.

Re: Yet another step closer to Cortex Command in real life The most exciting thing I see about it is the promise of my cybernetic arm chaingun.

Re: Yet another step closer to Cortex Command in real life How about putting human brain into it?
Screw the morality and ethics. They just slow down science. Nazis did good when they did those brutal human tests, no other guy could have done them. |

Re: Yet another step closer to Cortex Command in real life Science is studied to benefit mankind, and those 'petty' morals and ethics are part of what it means to be human. To throw one out in favor of the other is a paradox. Excuse me if this doesn't make sense in the morning.
