Maybe it's just me but wiring electronics into the brains of animals to remote control them seems morally wrong, even if it's "for a good cause."

- ceejayoz 3y agoA cockroach seems about as sentient as ChatGPT is.
- dilawar 3y agoI doubt it. At minimum, chatgpt needs to run away from painful stimuli (given a choice).
- ceejayoz 3y agoChatGPT avoids uncomfortable conversations just fine. Both it and the cockroach are doing what their programming says.
- Erratic6576 3y agoJust like humans are. Our programming tells us to eat, socialise, reproduce, sleep, etc. and it compels us to obey our programming in more subtle or explicit ways. Just because we pretend to be more complicated does not make us any better than cockroaches. From an ethical perspective, roaches are superior to human beings because they have never created factories and chemicals to set other living roaches alive, nor do they plan to remove their kin from a particular territory by bombing baby roaches to death by the thousands.

- beachy 3y agoAgree, though I guess it's only one step further on from fattening them up on chemically enhanced food before killing them and eating them. Which I put up with in order to eat my share of meat.
- nurettin 3y agoThe same kind of animal you would mass-murder with chemicals if one had too many children in your house. And then sigh in relief when they are all dead. Yes, it's just you.
