> Think how much better these experiments could be conducted 80 years later.
Tony, I didn't know you were on this site.
what makes you think they’re not still doing experiments like this?
because with 80 years of experiments dog-headed robots would be available for military use.
Even if we had the tech it wouldn’t be practical. Dogs are cheap and easy to get more, they are also commonly upgraded with titanium teeth and bullet proof vests, and soon may have AR goggles for more precise commands.
Why use AR when you can upload their consciousnesses to a VR paradise while they control robotic battle suits?
Because that's harder?
>Even if we had the tech it wouldn’t be practical.
we're talking potential military / DARPA contracts here, you could still make a pretty penny on something impractical.
reviving the old saw about whether it's better to fight a dog-headed robot or a robot-headed dog.
