Singapore's Remote-Controlled Cyborg Insects
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2018
- In the future, we may have remote-controlled insects to reach places humans cannot. At least that's what Dr. Hirotaka Sato, an aerospace engineer from Singapore, is hoping.
Motherboard went to Dr. Sato's lab in Singapore to take one of his cyborg beetles for a test flight.

Insects don't feel pain, damage only signals them that they should run away from danger.

I was thinking the same thing. It's crazy how they have absolutely no consideration for how it might feel for the beetle. It's a small insect, sure, but it's alive and has a brain, so it probably feels pain and discomfort and fears death. If not it wouldn't flee from danger. I couldn't imagine if some gigantic alien species that was 100 times my size were poking holes in my body and installing electronics to turn me into a remotely controlled robot. That would surely suck!!
Exactly!!! Pure evil.

@@BabyFoodChewer Because something is too stupid to feel pain/think/etc, etc (Presumably), it's OK to do this? Would that mean if someone is brain dead we can do these kinds of experiments on them, right? It's just a brain dead human. I love how we give value to things based upon nothing, "I not bug, I am human". Imagine humans that are too stupid to exist on it's own (we definitely have those), we shouldn't do human experiments? I mean they will be literally incapable of feeling anything.
Edit,
Before you assume I think this is unethical and argue that, I don't care. Just pointing out that there's no logical consistency in a lot of statements. We as a human species literally know nothing of this universe maybe we're just too stupid to comprehend bugs, who knows.

This is disgusting. They're living beings too and can feel pain. Imagine someone else did this to your body for their own interests. The fact that this is not illegal is disgusting. The fact that it has more upvotes than downvotes is also extremely disappointing.

For everyone blindly amazed by advancements in technology: we should pay attention to testing methods and limits in this field. Notice they said they stimulated a living thing, albeit just an insect, for 7 DAYS STRAIGHT just to see how long they could. Would it be crazy to think that someone or group of some organized group of individuals out there might want to test this on people.
Yeah people love Neuralink, it gives them their life back. Many brain electrodes feel incredible. Try to stop people from experimenting with it like a drug.
If Big Pharma and Biotech are willing to harvest the 73 million aborted human babies annually to create medicines and treatments, we arguably have no moral or ethical values. Now imaging millions of these flying cyborg beetles all bio-engineered to carry next generation of biological or chemical weapons to populations or war zones. I know right??

I know that this is real freaky shit, bro. But you will never change my opinion that this is some real, rad shit. People in the stone ages can't do this, heh.
I see so many people feeling bad for this beetle, you do realize that most people kill bugs for no reason. as far as the beetle is concerned its getting food and not becoming food.
A world where suffering doesn't exist would be great, but suffering is a constant in nature, life consumes and destroys life. Have any of you seen parasitic wasps or cats? both torture their victims as a part of their place in nature, cats being worse since its driven by more than instinct and isn't necessary for survival.
As humans we are often convinced that we are above nature, but just like any other animal we are molded by it. all of our actions and all of our thoughts are ultimately from how we evolved as a species, and as we are part of nature we cause suffering to survive. However we can mitigate it and try to be as humane as possible, we will never get there without sacrifices, we just need to weigh the pros and cons of our actions.

you eat meat bro its not that deep
