your sarcasm meter is out of control?dejay said:Science doesn't work in isolation - results from one field often help the efforts in another field. One would think studying the way neurons connect and work would lead to breakthroughs in neurology. Specifically brain tumors; you know, cancer.
(edit) Meh, I probably have cancer of the sarcasm meter.
zmoney said:do these people ever watch terminator....terrible idea. but cool nonetheless
ringofpower00 said:The better question is do you watch terminator? Those movies weren't about AI killing us, it was about us killing us. People forgot this and made many shitty sequels upon sequels.
Lucky Forward said:Interesting, but did the scientists really "create" something here? Or did they just set up an experiment that demonstrates an existing property of rat neurons to persistently transmit a signal?
yes, but why did those humans create nukes, why did they create such intelligent A.I., why did they put it in charge of their military.ThoseDeafMutes said:Pretty sure it was about a cyborg from the future that came back to kill the leader of the future human resistance after an A.I. nuked the entire world. I may be wrong though, it's been at least three months since I last watched it.

Right. Right...we have to ....prevent that. Right. Uhm....did the article say if these guys have published yet?Esperado said:We just gotta make sure some asshole doesn't put it into some kind of weaponized robot.

It sounds to me like they did...ThoseDeafMutes said:They grew the rat neurons in a lab. They didn't just grab existing ones and wire them up.
The did so by attaching a layer of proteins to a silicon disk and adding brain cells from embryonic rats that attached themselves to the proteins and grew to connect with one another in the ring seen above.

You're no fun. I could use some device like this to help me remember girl's names at bars. At 12 seconds, it's already an improvement over my own memory.Equus Bellator Apex said:This isn't a good idea.
thanx for all the serious replies.ThoseDeafMutes said:
Scrow said:yes, but why did those humans create nukes, why did they create such intelligent A.I., why did they put it in charge of their military.
he's absolutely right. it all stems from their motivations and how they are self-destructive. that's the fundamental message being delivered by that movie.
