u had my hopes up

 

Maybe they can teach the rat's brain to run GM.

Spend money developing great cars, price them fairly = good.
Rebates and promos on mediocre or crappy cars = bad.

Seems like a rat could learn that.

 

Well if they are going to make living computers, they should use cells from a golden retriever or something. The we wouldn't have to worry about it turning against us

 

I'm not sure that the cells would ever turn against us anyway. "Self awareness" if it is really a sort of property that can be discussed is more likely to be a result of the structural arrangement of the neurons that form a brain, and not some sort of difference between the cell types of different mammals.
