Obviously it's over hipped news, but, would it be ethical to print neutral network brains made of human cells? How about the question... How many chicken brain cells does it take to do the same job as a given amount of human cells? And if that number is 3 or 46, does that mean that we are 3 or 46 times smarter on average than a chicken? Or maybe 1 human vote is 45 times a chicken's? 1/45th vote rule?

How many human brain cells do we need to guide a missile?

That guy knows exactly where the research will be used first.

Will the missile know that Osama has be gone for a while? Is it going to get bored just hanging from an F14 all day? Will it go off if it's depressed? Is it male or female? Will you feel bad if it's a really sexy female missile? How do you grow up a missile control neutral network? Do you have to have the birds and bees talk with your missile? If Johny the missile jumps off the empire State building, does your missile have to hump from the empire State building? Gosh! So many questions!

Sexy female jet art is out there, feel like sexy female missile art is the next logical step.

Do female missiles have a period? Can two missiles that really love each other have baby missiles? Do they go off when they go off? Where does daddy missile work? Does he cheat with mommy missile?

A similar experiment was actually done 20 years ago, using rat neurons to pilot a flight simulator. 25,000 rat neurons in a petri dish were capable of flying the simulated F-22. https://research.ufl.edu/publications/explore/v10n1/extract2.html

But seriously, the Thought Emporium is a great channel. If you wish to feel amazed and inspired, grab a drink, dial down the lights and binge a few videos in a row.
