what if this place is a honeypot
what if this place is a honeypot
putins are hexbear bots actually
“yeah, my beanis really took over my skull and finally knocked some of those kkkrakkker brainworms out of place. still have a few but overall it’s an excellent support group for those suffering from chronic liberalosis.”
things have gotten progressively worse for US citizens since 2010 regardless of semiconductor size
scp ethics council but if it was even more useless
How does one genuinely do an experiment like this without being way too uncomfortable to continue?
Yeah that’s my point, lol, humans are animals, genetically creating living brain tissue is probably going to great conscious beings at some point
uh, no, without socialization you still are aware of things, you just don’t have words for them or anything. You can still feel pain and hunger and suffering
brain cells are not just conductive matter. They are super fucking complex. IE there are theories of consciousness based on the idea that there are things going on at a quantum level around brain cells. Each cell is like it’s own entire little machine.
it’s a genuine clusterfuck, we’re basically gambling with ethics here
lovecraftian horror setting where humanity reacts to the elder god problem by using genetic modification and cloning technology to engineer a brain capable of comprehending all of the laws of reality and therefore using them, but in constant suffering due to the mental stress of understanding it all
creating a thousand tormented souls for “progress”
there is no fucking way this would be ethical. we still don’t know how consciousness even works so this could be creating beings, tormenting them, and then killing them hundreds of times a second for all we know. i think your average Chinese scientist would be disgusted that you’d even imply they would do this kind of thing. I am not approaching this from the perspective that technology is scary because I don’t know what it is- I’m approaching from the perspective that this technology is scary because nobody knows what it is.
in the west the prevailing attitude to stuff like stem research is also “ew gross”
less because of China Bad propaganda and mostly because people like Elon Musk suck and people are realizing it. Also as someone who used to want to go into stem it IS gross, at least capitalist stem is, which is the only kind US citizens are exposed to. You don’t understand the depravity of US Stem until you take an engineering class and they start cheerfully talking about Lockheed-Martin.
this is some “cannibalism is ok because anti-cannibalism was spread by colonial England” level take. i’m sorry, i don’t mean to be harsh, its just wild to me
“The benefits are obvious, though some misguided species may view the transmutation of individuals into computing chips as morally questionable.”
this should definitely be illegal wtf
Doesn’t this imply that access to wide-scale open chip models like what I’ve seen Chinese manufacturers working on (in news on this very website) could change this?
what about all the stuff over the Internet local orgs do
