DARPA Wants to Build Conscious Robots Using Insect Brains

The Pentagon’s emerging technologies unit put out a call last week for proposals that use insect brains to control robots — because they could be used to create efficient new models for artificial intelligence, but also because they could be used to explore the meaning of consciousness.

“Nature has forced on these small insects drastic miniaturization and energy efficiency, some having only a few hundred neurons in a compact form-factor, while maintaining basic functionality,” reads a document in the proposal. “Furthermore, these organisms are possibly able to display increased subjectivity of experience.” It goes on to say that there’s evidence suggesting that “even small insects have subjective experiences, the first step towards a concept of ‘consciousness.'”

L.A. Teachers Walk Off the Job, Beginning First Strike in 30 Years

More than 32,000 Los Angeles teachers and staff members walked off the job Monday in the country's second-biggest school district. That means about 600,000 kids will have no idea when they'll see their teachers again.

Weeks of heated negotiations between the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) union and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) went nowhere, leading to the city's first teachers' strike in 30 years.

"We did not receive a proposal over the weekend, and we will be striking tomorrow," UTLA Secretary Arlene Inouye said Sunday night.

Both the union and the school district say they want smaller class sizes, bigger teacher salaries, and more counselors and nurses in the district's roughly 1,000 schools.

cannot stomach this man but this statement is absolute truth. It is the reason so many who call themselves Christian look no different from the world. They have no clue what The Word says and furthermore, they dont want to know. Just as the scripture says, they want their ears tickled so they do not have to be responsible for the Truth they would find in The Word. They love their sin more than they love their God, thus, they are not true Christians.
