I wonder if we should show them how to write software?
- viach 7y agoNot software probably, but could be a plan B for Uber's "driverless" cars.
- frosted-flakes 7y agoThat's probably not as stupid as it sounds. Well, actually it is, but if horses can drive their carriages autonomously, could we teach gorillas to do the same for cars?
- tomjakubowski 7y agoYou know there's a very famous sci-fi musical about why this would be a bad idea! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlmzUEQxOvA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlmzUEQxOvA
- Someone 7y agoGorillas are way too big for that. They would require larger, more expensive cars and more food than, for example, Bonobos. You could also try to use pigeons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Pigeon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Pigeon)
- Haga 7y agoGive them a way to transmit video tutorials to other gorilla's, skip writing.
- jacquesm 7y agoBased on the quality of some code bases I suspect that we passed that point long ago.
