rat brain flies plane?

[robothouse77]

yipes!

The "brain", grown from 25,000 neural cells extracted from a single rat embryo, has been taught to fly an F-22 jet simulator by scientists at the University of Florida.

sorry if R...Really, i am

[robothouse77]

I, for one, welcome our new rodent overlords.

I can see it now: boarding a 797 in 2030, being welcomed by pilot and co-pilot Rat who will be flying us over the Atlantic.

Heck with the Mexicans and Chinese, we can start outsourcing to animals. Rats would work for trash...literally.

Lol, what happens though if someone in the cabin starts munching on some cheese during the flight? Then we would have another 'Lost'...

My CPU is a neural net rat brain, a learning computer.

I think this was news back in July.

Intriguing I must say.

 

[djheater]

I believe the rat brains are being grown adjacent to the spider goats....

What could possibly go wrong.

 

[BobDaMenkey]

This is going to be an interesting can of worms.

In other news, this new tech has started a new cold war. The Chinese are countering with cat brains flying their fighters.

ah, the beginnings of the new Iraqi Air Force.
