Comment on there is a special place in hell for these scientists

That’s fucked up though. What happened to bioethics and review boards?

We don’t understand enough about human consciousness to say that those cells aren’t sentient. We have no idea what sort of experience, if any, they’re perceiving.

This is not okay…

I’m no scientist but I’m pretty sure we know enough to say there’s no consciousness at this level. Consciousness as we know it is pretty fragile.

There may be a point if this is scaled up that could be a concern…

  We do not, in fact, know enough to say there’s no consciousness at that level.
  
  Anyone who tells you that is being intellectually dishonest.

I’d say they’re experiencing being doom guy but that’s just a guess

  Sounds like something from a horror manga.
  
  I’m seeing the chimera from FMAB saying “Edu…wardo… koroshite…kure… onegai…”

The goal is to grow brains in lab and prevent robot cops to tear off their own faces

  The end goal is probably a vat that billionaires can hook their brains into at the end of their lives so they never die.
  
  That probably has something to do with their push for virtual reality and the ‘metaverse’ (fuck zuck for appropriating the greek language for his pet project; I used to use that word to describe a sort of hypothetical hyperdimensional multiverse where “spirits” inhabit 4D/5D topologies).
  
  Oh and why they’re training AI agents in “environments” now (basically, 3D-scanned renderings of real life spaces).
  
  If they can put all the pieces together before they die, then they can hook their brains into these computers and control a little avatar so they never have to die and can continue making our lives hell (at least as long as they maintain ownership of private capital, or until we seize the means of production and redistribute the wealth).
