I stumbled on to one video and then to another and pow! thats what happens.[

I might have missed some vids on some earlier posts.
The things that bother me about the Rat-Bot experiment: #1 that animal (brain tissue) could be experiencing great pain with no way of telling, and #2 they don't seem to care or express that possibility. You have to at least show that your concerned. I'm all for killing and eating, but not for torture.
The first thing I thought of when viewing that robot was 'confussion' and 'frustration' on the Rat's part.
I believe, by reason of my hundreds of thought experiments, that humans are very predictable and can be synthesized given a massive amount of data. However, I feel like I'm one of the very few who will never exploit this information.
Most people say they love life but often will trade that life for the Mighty Dolar bill, or perhaps lots of pats of the back.
Therefore, certain knowlege should be kept from the bulk of mankind, like true-blue A.I.
Because the first thing that will happen is that someone with massive resources will attempt to make life... or even mass produce it, all in the name of Profit. *Will's Million Dolars* (I'm not suggesting that Will will kill for it... [

])
Most people will ignore ethics if too much money is at stake. I seek this knowledge for good and I carry that responsibility of man-kind if nessesary.
This still leaves the field wide open for others to discover it. But I dont think they will. Because on the day they do, I'm pretty positive that God will get ticked... and that is someone you don't want to get ticked off.
I will keep searching because it is my privilege ... and that privilege could very well be revoked. This is real A.I. ethics. I wish others felt the same way ONE.
They are using Altimers and Amputies to jusify their researce... and I'm thinking... and I know that it is not where it will end up.
