    Default Dog brain plays Quake 3

    http://home.actlab.utexas.edu/~dbail...ssrelease.html

    It seems bizarre, yes, but they made a dog brain capable of playing Quake 3. It can fight a bot and navigate the levels.

    Just weird...

    What are they going to do next, get dogs to fire real guns?

    By the way, really harsh on the dog. Why did it have to play possibly the worst ever FPS?

    Yeah, finally an AI that really adapts to the situation, then again it´s not AI, it´s RI, isn´t it?

    Its only 50,000 cells and by 9 days it can take down a basic bot... imagine adding that to a flight simulator, then later to a real plane... just don't add nukes and don't tell it about the self distruct button... from there on you have a neural network cruise missile.
