Hollywoodscinece

Holy-fucking-shit.

So wait, what did I learn today? That a guys can grow a free thinking rat brain in a lab which can learn (on it's own) to draw with a robotic arm in New York? Yeah... I guess.

I also learned that there are some things technology can do that scare me. Like growing a free thinking brain from rat neurons, and having that brain control robot arms. I mean, what if that brain decides stabbing is more fun than drawing? We all know where this is going, and usually, I'm on the opposite side to he sanity fence as those who think computers and robots are taking over the world... but this comes dangerously close to that line.

Also, here is the first video footage of an electron ever shot. I don't know how big a breakthrough that is... what I do know is that is totally NOT how I pictured electrons looking.
