Just two cool frogs hanging out

[closet-keys]

Me, wanting to buy something from a clothing company that pays living wages: god it’s so expensive It is not too expensive, it is fairly priced and I’m just not paid enough.

[rox-and-prose]

Honestly I have a theory that a big reason why corporations hate the idea of higher wages is that their entire business model revolves around having the lowest prices, rather than the best product or service. If we get paid better, we can afford to make a choice.

I looked through the notes and these are definitely the best examples of OP’s point

[tonysopranobignaturals-deactiva]

Corporations are like *rakes in $100 billion* “it is too expensive to stop using sweatshop child labor” and people believe them

[officialbluebeetle-deactivated2]

holy fucking shit people simulated the 302 neurons in a worm’s brain with software, put it in a Lego robot and it behaves like a worm

upload the nematode

[asocratesgonemad]

upload the nematode / lock it in a box / keep it there for fifty years / then see if it talks!

[brazenautomaton]

but, like, it’s a worm. its behavior isn’t that complex.

if it’s not accurately behaving like a worm, how would we tell?

[asocratesgonemad]

^ an important point. IIRC they don’t even really have a complete characterization of the worm’s nervous system, so C. legogans here is at best a preliminary test. Still pretty cool, though.

[animatedamerican]

I looked at the article, and to my mind the significant thing here is that the lego robot demonstrated consistent behavior with no programming.  They didn’t program any stimulus-response behavior into it.  They just gave it their best approximation of worm neurons, and it made up the behavior.

I may be misunderstanding some aspect of this but to me that feels kinda huge?

[crocabit]

They made an artifical reactive set of neurons with consistent observable behaviors. Yeah, this is a big deal. It’s the first step towards ‘uploading’ minds.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

oh, worm?
