Ok, so if knowledge is contained in a brain via neural pathways and wrinkles and whatever other stuff (I know, so technical), then wouldn’t it stand to reason that a reanimated brain would retain all of the knowledge and memories it had before it died?*
So if Igor happened across the brain of an OSHA inspector, this outcome is not too far fetched. (All things considered)
* I’m assuming the brain hasn’t started decaying to any significant degree.
There’s this real story of a Chinese woman thar got hit in the head, went into coma and woke up speaking perfect English (she was an English teacher after all), but the interesting part is that she completely lost her ability to talk in her mother tongue. Let’s imagine that It could be possible that the monster would have had a similar brain injury, but instead of losing the ability to speak, he would to completely forget everything but his OSHA training.
Huh, weirdly enough I remember a story similar to that but the opposite way (english to chinese)
I think he actually picked up “Abby Normal”. Although, he wad supposed to get “Hans Delbrook”
A composite monster asking about provenance is scary.
“You didn’t even talk to the IRB?”
Man it is not even HSE. The ethical sourcing of human tissue and the proper documentation of said. And all the bribes for the review and governance committees.
Even in the wet sciences, most “mad scientists” are just crazed engineers.
Please direct all complaints to my assistant Igor
I wish AI would start with a list of its many shortcomings and social faux-pas
