Quote: They never got past the first stage of trying to get a rat to control the movement of a single robot before the funding got cut. Interesting enough, the PhD/grad students working on the project said the toughest aspect was just trying to get the rat to care about moving a robot around doing mundane tasks in the first place. lol:blush:
Why, why are perfectly good jobs being outsourced to rats when there are perfectly good hobos ready, willing, and able to perform the same task? And these rats don't even seem to care about their jobs, a pretty damn cushy job of ordering around robots even?! Sounds like a pretty sweet middle management position to me. And they don't even seem to care?! There are hobos who would kill for that job! Literally, kill.
Lou Dobbs is right I tells you.
