    Only if they confirm it can experience consciousness and tremendous amounts of pain will they deploy them on a large scale industrial 24/day meaningless jobs.
    The system demands blood.

      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

    From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel.

    That raises a lot of ethical concerns. It is not possible to prove or disprove that these synthetic homunculi controllers are sentient and intelligent beings.

    800,000 brain cells played pong.

    Creepy.

    That’s murderbot’s ancestor.

    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.

    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.
