This is actually freaky. Damn.

pleasplease tell me this can they hfeel huan emotions if the text is weird i have bad internet so it updates slowly so i dont know what im typing

they want a pickle rick situation

i’m glad they addressed the animal abuse at the end because I was thinking about it the whole video. Yes a discovery from this could be great for the human race, but purposely giving a rat rabies is cruel

the design is very human!

Who wrote this paper, Dr Moreau?

Implying rats/mice aren't already self aware.

I did not sign on to either view. I don’t think consciousness can be localized. I think that involves integration of multiple inputs similar to our integration of 3d in combination with proprioception to creat our consciousness of our physical localization in our environment

This is the beginning of chimeras

this is great but can we learn how to make my little guys live longer? they live so short TwT

They did surgery on a grape

Ratatouille origin story

planet of the rats!

Ah, chimeras. I thought FMAB taught us not to do this.

This is the plot to pinky and the brain

Mycologist's psychedelic wisdom saved me from the darkness of meth and heroin addiction.

We are all gangster until planet of the rats comes out

@RATIRL

"dollar store in vitro organoids"? You must have different suppliers than I do.

This makes me sick

That time i was reincarnated as a rat be like:

By the time the Rat gets to a full human brain, it’s going to be rip. The brain is too complex to study

To create Master Splinter of course

Fuck, every day we come closer to skaven in real life

Maybe consciousness shouldn't be a separate category? A single cell creature has basic awareness and can respond to stimuli, but this is a feature of life. IIT and many other theories are based on the premise that "life" is not a separate category, or even a mystery, which just moves the mystery up one level to consciousness. The current quest for General AI also assumes that giving consciousness to a dead thing would be of some value.

Hell naw we got the rat standing on 2 legs

Can't we map input and output behavior of neurons and hence deduce a learning algorithm that we could replicate with computers? Currently, artificial neural networks are trained with a very inefficient and unbiological algorithm. A more local algorithm would change the world. What's difficult about mapping the full behavior of neurons?

Planet of the rats

Are you thinking what I’m thinking pinky?

How did this get past the universities ethics commission? This is moderately horrific.

oh not the lawmakers making decisions 😭😭😭

Skavenmaxxing

Scientist did WHAT!?

Some flowers for Algernon

And now apes

This is big pharma globalists transhumanism garbage with good intentions that lead to hellish reality where everyone has a bandaid over their missing chromosomes.

Pinky and the brain brain brain brain..

"The day I reincarnated as a rat"

IIT and analytic idealism are future of science and philosophy! Whatever over a 100 wrong scientists claim. The paradigm has shifted and it will take some time for main science to catch up.

Such endeavours are destined to fail from the start because they're as logical as studying the sun in the daytime - with a flashlight. Consciousness can only be aware of that, which isn't, itself. Everything that you can possibly be aware of, must be distinct from your consciousness (otherwise, it would still be your consciousness).

Never mind ethics is necessary in science

No refrences to nimh? How?

If i found these rats in my house I'd probably have to call some sort of Home Safety Hotline

Is this the prequel for Shin Sekai no Yori

We are playing God here....AND I LOVE IT!!!!!

1. For our theories to be correct, we must first accept that it is possible to attain knowledge. 2. Only that, which is discernible, is perceptible. I.e. contrasting differences helps to define the boundaries of an object, enabling it to be distinguished from its environment. We're almost blind to similarities and can only notice differences. 3. Therefore, it would follow that, anything that can be observed by a consciousness, cannot be a part of that consciousness. Because, not only would it mean they are the same thing but, the lack of a clear distinction between the observer and the observed would render the object imperceptible. I think this is the main reason why consciousness seems so fundamental yet, so elusive. Ironically, the deeper you delve into the brain in search of consciousness, the farther you'll get from finding it. Its very nature dictates it remains 'behind the scenes'. Whatever you can see through a telescope, cannot be the telescope. The same is true of consciousness. We can perceive our physical body and other's bodies but we cannot perceive perception. We cannot use light to see light. A camera cannot photograph itself directly.

I dont think any creature deserves to be injected with rabies. No matter how small
