To me, this is the method to get yourself to the top of the list. Unfair advantage doesn’t even properly describe it.
@phenomlab I do believe AI will change the health industry deeply. Especially, while diagnosing a disease, AI can be trained to recognize certain patterns on films and tests. Of course I believe it always will require an expert (I do not think this part will be eliminated) to give the final diagnosis, but it still can save lots of time and efforts.
@crazycells Yes, agreed. This will change the shape of healthcare and enable experts to make early diagnosis, and hopefully one day, eradicate cancer all together (for example). I just shudder at the thought of synthetically grown muscle and flesh being placed on a robot. It’s a bit too “Hollywood” for me, and makes the Terminator franchise look more and more like an accurate prediction rather than simple fiction.
@phenomlab well, hopefully it will make healthcare professionals life easier, but by itself, it cannot cure cancer since we cannot do that for all types of cancers yet some types of cancer are very aggressive and still waiting for a cure.
I think human flesh thing is just for media attention, I would be surprised if they would make it mainstream for all types of robots, since it will require attention and care. If it is not fed and taken care of human flesh will rot lol
We are making robots so we can be lazy lol I am pretty sure no one would buy a robot that they have to take care of regularly like a pet.

Very true, but it could certainly speed up the research and lab testing.

Well, the Japanese seem to be quite serious about this
"However, now that we can do this, living skin can bring a range of new abilities to robots.
"Self-healing is a big deal - some chemical-based materials can be made to heal themselves, but they require triggers such as heat, pressure or other signals, and they also do not proliferate like cells.
“Biological skin repairs minor lacerations as ours does, and nerves and other skin organs can be added for use in sensing and so on.”
The most worrying part
“We believe that creating a thicker and more realistic skin can be achieved by incorporating sweat glands, sebaceous glands, pores, blood vessels, fat and nerves.”
@phenomlab yeah, but I still believe that they are saying this for media attention and investors… A silicon based realistic tissue would suffice for this purpose. Functionally, I really cannot think of a good use.
I believe, when they start experimenting on the final product, they will realize how harder their job will become and abandon this project. But I guess at the end, they will use a fraction of real tissue properties, and will claim everywhere that it is based on real human flesh.
@crazycells Let’s hope you’re right
In situations like this where social media becomes the fuel for the fire, you can see how dangerous AI can be
@phenomlab wow incredible .
Open AI hits $157bn - the highest ever value for a start up
The 2024 Nobel prize for physics has been awarded to two scientists who laid “the foundation” for artificial intelligence - although one of them recently warned the technology could be the end of humanity.
