Imagine seeing your dead relative reanimated as a robot so that scientists could study you πŸ—Ώ

iirc this was a major concern for face transplants. Person A gets horribly burned; person B dies; A gets B's face; B's mom sees A walking around with B's face and has an existential crisis.

And where's person C in all this? Are we just going to ignore them, as always?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

You're right, we never C him mentioned

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Person C only exists within the crisis.

Person C may or may not exist, at any given time.

Person C also needs a new face; we have the means to get C the care they need, but insurance says 'no'. C is becoming radicalized.

Person C needs to wait until person A dies

I got suspicious when Granny started saying shit like "As an AI Language Model I cannot make sweet potato pie".

I mean, animals (birds too) def have grieving rituals ("funerals") and emotional suffering caused by loss of a close one.

Seeing a reanimated corpse of that same individual would fuck beyond uncanny-valley anyone.

And even without knowing the individual prior to assimilation, there is no way birds don't recognise it as something different.
It just isn't physically harming them & won't go away - what are they supposed to do?

The Norwegian Blue prefers kipping on its back -and sometimes taking surveillance photos. Beautiful plumage.

It's ~~stone dead~~ pining for the fjords

You taped a rotor to its back!

The only reason it was sitting on its perch in the first place was because it had been nailed there. It has ceased to be.

Mate, this parrot ~~wouldn't~~ would "voom" if you put four million volts through it!

But they’re already drones.

This is a means for government to downplay the mounting evidence of fake birds. Now they can say β€œoh that one was a drone, but the rest are real you just happened to find the one done!”

So they replace the dead mechanical parts with new ones but also flash a hacked firmware to enable reverse-spying?
How devious.

This isn't voluntary!

I wanted crab body perfection, not this (soon to be undead submersible) tall horse bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Isn’t it though, isn’t it?

But cmon, if you don’t want do deal with the gag reflex, should you really be developing the neck?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Who said your head had to be submerged?

Think long.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Crab body, giraffe head, got it.
