Subjecting a being to a machine which automatically evolves stimuli to maximise fear response is not torture?

- nartz 7y agoThings are relative here - you know they test experimental pharmaceutical drugs on monkeys too right?
- gipp 7y agoIt's not maximizing "fear response", I'm not sure where everyone in this thread is getting that from. It's maximizing the response of particular visual cortex neurons, in structures where they're shown to be recognizers of specific shapes or concepts. I.e. it's evolving images that this neuron thinks look most like a monkey, or a person. It's not the only neuron making that judgment, and it's all super nonlinear, so ofc it looks strange and distorted. It's literally just doing this but with a real neuron instead of a virtual one: http://yosinski.com/deepvis http://yosinski.com/deepvis
