Scientists at the University of Reading have created a robot body for cultured rat brains.
They are putting rat brains into robot bodies.
There were a couple facts that really disturbed me. (Although some may argue that I was disturbed to begin with)
1) There are several brains for the single robot body. This is going to create competition between the brains for use of the body. And I have my doubts that the nice rat brain is going to be the one that wins out.
2) They are connected to the robot body by a Bluetooth connection. The same Bluetooth that connects our cell phones to our headsets, and computers.
You know that as time goes on, these scientist are going to increase the complexity of the rat brains, making them smarter. And they are going to make the robot body more capable, more powerful, possibly arming them with laser weapons or some such. Eventually these rat brains are going to be able to hack into the internet. (Bluetooth to cell phone to internet) Ordering stuff online (like laser weapons) getting or creating blackmail material on their handlers, thereby forcing them to attach the laser beams to their new improved robot bodies, and/or make more. They could even establish E-Trade accounts and wreck our economy,
Within a few years, humanity will be faced with an army of rat cyborgs, rampaging through our streets, enslaving most of Wisconsin for its cheese, murdering cats all over the planet.
We need to come up with ways to avoid the coming rat cyborg apocalypse. We can either welcome our new rat cyborg masters, or fight them. One idea to fight them is to start producing internet rat and/or cyborg ⌧. This will hopefully distract them long enough for us to destroy them before they enslave and destroy us. It can also serve as an early warning system. If you start seeing a spike in internet rat or cyborg ⌧ traffic, then it will be time to strike.
Another idea is to start selling cheese on E-bay, get them involved in bidding wars, again as a means to distract them while we fight back using more conventional means.
People, we need to wake up and act now. Anyone have other ideas on fighting an army of rat cyborgs?
