Ah, man made horrors beyond my comprehension, excellent
- xwdv 4y agoI don’t see a problem.
- LegitShady 4y agothats because you've developed eye like features.
- Sakos 4y agoThis is terrifying. I wonder what it'd take for a mini-brain to gain consciousness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_organoid#Ethics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_organoid#Ethics
- serf 4y agoa better question is : 'would we know if it did?'
- viraptor 4y agoIf it grows neutrons for connecting to vocal chords, we could...
- Joyfield 4y agoAnd after that we need to figure out why it is constantly screaming.
- slowmovintarget 4y agoFor I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream Boltzmann Brains don't fluctuate into existence, they get created when entropy is moderate enough to produce galaxies with people in them that develop tech for cloning.
- konfusinomicon 4y agoconsciousness then evolves into telepathy..the scientists while hard at work studying these growing cell masses then start hallucinating while in the presence of the mini brains, driving them into insanity.. and next thing you know we've gone full on Akira and the destruction of neo Tokyo is imminent
- datavirtue 4y agoThere has to be a movie from the 1950s covering this.
- r3ctilinear 4y agoDonovan's Brain
- Sakos 4y agoIs it possible to write a story from the perspective of the brain? Would the first few pages or even the first chapter just be blank or would it be nonsensical noise? Would it even make sense to use words? Maybe a visual/interactive medium like a game would make more sense. On that note, what does somebody who was born blind perceive? Do they perceive blackness or is there no sense of sight at all?
- Nasrudith 4y agoProbably some of scale - while body and brain size map together well enough that tanners knew that any creature had enough brains to tan their hide there are limits to how small a viable brain may be. Second would be exposure towards some sort of input to respond to.
- ben_w 4y agoOne may hope so, though even nature has never shown itself to be kind about things, merely expedient. Just as when the discussion is about AI, it is my sad belief that we as a species do not have a single concept of consciousness sufficient to even be tested for, merely a collection of vague ideas that at best refer to each other and at worst to nothing at all.
- baja_blast 4y agoA little conscious being grows eyes to understand the world around it, to later be disposed of after the study is over.
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoMaybe you are describing us, too.
- tremon 4y agoIt's still better than being paved over for an expressway before the study is over, I guess.
- 31337Logic 4y ago42.
- SentientAtom 4y agoThey were mostly harmless anyway.

- smrtinsert 4y agoPrecisely what I was thinking. Where are the ethical discussions around this occurring? Where are those agreements or resolutions captured? edit: apparently there are no laws banning human cloning!
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoI doubt they started with human stem cells. More likely mouse.
