The idea that the rats are taking photos of themselves for the (self-aware) pleasure is pretty silly. The rats could have been trained to do anything with this method. Moving from rewarding every time for the desired behavior to occasionally rewarding causes the animal to keep doing the behavior for the reward. And if you stop rewarding entirely, the behavior will continue for a while, and it'll eventually stop. But by then the artist has made their point and doesn't care.
- woliveirajr 3y ago> (self-aware) pleasure Made me think: when humans take photos on {plataform} to receive likes, doesn't it means that humans know to apreciate what comes after those likes? Money, sex, lots of "friends", relationships, oportunities... The pleasure doesn't come from the post itself, and every like isn't a simple like, it is a whole bunch of things that comes with "I like that from you"
