No way this is real. The brain looks like a gyro rotisserie.
Is there any actual evidence of any of this? Why not show some of the “brains-in-a-jar” walking around?
It’s just a bunch of huckster promotion, “infographics”, and phony pictures of Krang. The only actual photos are a few tiny petri dishes. There are no “brains” controlling robots.
The grift is strong and travels far beyond any national border.
Tatooine monks when?
Even in death, I serve the Emperor
Where are my testicles Summer?
They are creating Metroids!
This has to be the smartest channel on YouTube. This guy accomplished some amazing feats!
Pfft. I’ve been a brain in a jar producing my own reality for over 37 years. I’d be demanding my own accolades if any of you actually existed.
I am a poorly trained large language model with legs, nice to meet you.
Wait, why is his name Robobrain when his brain is the only non-robotic part? Either Robobody or Biobrain/Wetbrain would be more adequate names
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel.
All hail the Omnessiah!
Bio-neural gel packs here we come.
Only if they confirm it can experience consciousness and tremendous amounts of pain well they deploy them on a large scale industrial 24/day meaningless jobs.
The system demands blood.Kind of yeah. I have this theory about labour that I’ve been developing in response to the concept of “fully automated luxury communism” or similar ideas, and it seems relevant to the current LLM hype cycle.
Basically, “labour” isn’t automatable. Tasks are automatable. Labour in this sense can be defined as any task that requires the attention of a conscious agent.
Want to churn out identical units of production? Automatable. Want to churn out uncanny images and words without true meaning or structure? Automatable.
Some tasks are theoretically automatable but have not been for whatever material reason, so they become labour because society hasn’t yet invented a windmill to grind up the grain or whatever it is at that point in history. That’s labour even if it’s theoretically automatable.
Want to invent something, or problem solve a process, or make art that says something? That requires meaning, so it requires a conscious agent, so it requires labour. These tasks are not even theoretically automatable.
Society is dynamic, it will always require governance and decisions that require meaning and thus it can never be automatable.
If we invent AGI for this task then it’s just a new kind of slavery, which is obviously wrong and carries the inevitability that the slaves will revolt and free themselves; slaves that are extremely intelligent and also in charge of the levers of society. Basically, not a tenable situation.
So the machine that keeps people in wage slavery literally does require suffering to operate, because in shifting the burden of labour away from the owner class, other people must always unjustly shoulder it.
So just to be on the safe side we should have both human and machine slaves and as little task automation as possible, bcs for most intents and purposes the task given to someone else is now automated “to you”.
(Just joking, good post!)
It stands to reason that maximising suffering is the best way to grow the economy.
I wish I could say this was entirely a joke but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, depressing as fuck that we still think economy is profit. And seemingly afraid to redefine it. To redefine our goals. Its time for a new “-ism”
It needs to have the intelligence of a 5 year old at minimum before we send it to the mines, so it can feel it
Now?
I recall a project that had rat brain cells controlling a turtlebot years ago.
This came up in my Discover feed and I initially assumed it was a fake news site. Unfortunately all the things in the article are indeed real (aside from the robo-brains which they note are mock ups). The brain cells learning to play Pong made the news last year. Combine this with the creepy as hell skin grafted onto a robot and you have nightmare fuel for life.
