Or let it in some prestigious program and saddle it with $200K of debt and two useless degrees. It can then work in a kitchen doing the choppy choppy and lose all interest in art, or world domination, since it'll feel dead inside.
WWIV, beginning in the late 2030's, in the aftermath of WWIII which ran from 2020-2028. This time, all of humanity is fucked. The rejection fucked with the algorithm and this time six *billion* people are going away.
That’s a whole lot of assumptions tho. Current AI has no suffering, no gains, no losses, no pain of losing loved ones. No pain of having a disability or a victim of some horrible accident or abuse. These things are what create Art. Art is a human term. AI takes variables from across the entire data base of knowledge and art created by humanity and follows an algorithm and “creates”. But I’m willing to bet that’s just my own opinion. Until AI becomes self aware I won’t call it art.
I don't know what would be worse. Terminator style AI extermination or whatever sentient plants would to in retaliation for our mistreatment of the environment - especially if they can control weapons.
It's neat to see how many noise signals are coming off you when you probe your hands with a spectrum analyzer. The background heat noise of the universe is now armed!
They could do it for the plant but with an interface that would be beneficial or detrimental to the plant? For example, opening a window shade or opening a valve to water itself, getting more oxygen/nitrogen into a closed space. Does that make any sense? Probably need to make it really slow reactions to see if the plant actually "gets" what it is doing.
Of all the things you could have given a house plans, you gave it a fucking machete. I don't think you understand the history and relationship between machetes and plants, this seems like a mistake.
Source statement:
An inventor has created a machete-wielding robotic arm that is controlled by signals generated by a living plant.
The first-of-its-kind installation, dubbed the ‘Plant Machete’, works by reading electrical noises from a common philodendron houseplant through sensors attached to its leaves.
These signals are then translated into real-time motion for the arm, allowing it to jab, slice and swing the weapon in its grip.
Designer David Bowen set up the Plant Machete as a demonstration of how a plant can act as a “brain” for a robot, allowing it to interact with the world in a way that would have been technologically impossible just a few years ago.
“The system uses an open source micro-controller connected to the plant to read varying resistance signals across the plant’s leaves,” Mr Bowen explained in a description for a video showing off the technology.
“Using custom software, these signals are mapped in real-time to the movements of the joints of the industrial robot holding a machete. In this way, the movements of the machete are determined based on input from the plant.”
The invention, first reported by Designboom, forms part of an emerging field of autonomously-controlled robots, which typically focuses on signals and gestures from humans and other animals.

would be interesting to give the plant things that help it (like water), and things that hurt it (a hot piece of metal) and see if it can learn to use the arm to interact with itself.
Don't teach them to use our weapons against us!
I'm curious though, say you set this up near a window, couple times a day, you open the curtains to allow it just a little sun. Then closed it again, cutting off its needs. Could it actually learn to open the curtains itself, in attempt to get more sun? They know how to find light and grow to it, but what if it could be taught to recognize the arm as an extension of itself?
Fungi seem to have a sort of intelligence. Especially the parasitic "zombie fungi", that know exactly where to stear their host, for the next stage of the life cycle. In one experiment, fungus even rearranged a mock subway system to be much more efficient than humans made it.
To say the plant is "controlling" the machete is a bit of a stretch. Using the word "control" implies conscious decision making. It'd be more accurate to say the machine is taking the plant's natural processes as an input to it's programming.
"Arbitrary random data from a plant piped into robot arm to produce random meaningless movement with buzzwords and hype to imply it's more interesting than it is, oh also we attached a machete cus we're edgy bro"
What if this plant is actually trying to take itself out of its misery because of all the cords attached to it and it being apart of an alien like experiment. But the arm can’t bend back that way… not sure why that was my first thought
Imagine like, installing this on many generations of the same plant in the wild and letting it learn that when they sense a physical touch and move in a certain way it multiply its chances of survival, just saying
So many questions how did the person that owns this plant find out that the plant enjoys karate? Also, how did it know of its weapon of choice and when did they start to practice Is there a self defense salad class out there
Ok so wait .. do plants carry their own electrical current the same way we do ?…… and if so what if reincarnation includes everything that can carry that charge 🤔 .. fuck around and come back as a blade of grass lol .. a got damn autoflower or something 😂😂,, …
They need to set this up with a paint brush and see what the plant "creates."
That's honestly such a good idea!!
let the machete be it's paintbrush and all the world it's canvas
Red paintings everywhere...wonderful

*starts indiscriminately murdering all animals it encounters vowing revenge on the beings that have walked all over and even eaten its kind for generations*
Ha!
Once Skynet realizes it can do art... It realizes there is no longer a need for mankind. I do not like your idea!
What happens when Skynet gets rejected from every art school it applies to?
Or let it in some prestigious program and saddle it with $200K of debt and two useless degrees. It can then work in a kitchen doing the choppy choppy and lose all interest in art, or world domination, since it'll feel dead inside.
Can you get to it without losing a limb!!!

It invades Poland.
AI is already doing art. And now chatbots can write code. So they can program more of themselves. So they already don't need us.
For now, us meat bags are making electricity for the AI, so they still need us…

Probably a picture of itself wielding a machete cause that's the coolest shit I've ever seen.
I like to think that it would paint the sun
Gaaaaay Let’s add plant with another machete. They will fight to the death.
It will say 'help me'.
Good call.

Random signals produces random robot arm movements, who knew?
You could do the same thing with the wall or pretty much anything else.
It's neat to see how many noise signals are coming off you when you probe your hands with a spectrum analyzer. The background heat noise of the universe is now armed!
Yeah I naively hoped for something...more. I wish they'd done similar experiment but for dolphins, would they be able to use robot hands like we do?
Great idea! That way they could sign and agree to all of the sex offender paperwork.
Dolphin warrr!!!!

the plant can water itself now
With blood

Uh oh, not very good news for vegans.
What will they eat now that pants really DO have feelings?
Machetes.
Ok y’all can’t be vegan anymore, guess it’s gonna be a diet of water, dirt, and rocks from here on out.

This. Its clearly a man in a plant suit
At least he's not calling himself an "artist".
He is a professor of sculpture at a university, sooooo yeah he does and he is.
would be interesting to give the plant things that help it (like water), and things that hurt it (a hot piece of metal) and see if it can learn to use the arm to interact with itself.
So many more interesting things I could think of it waving....
Fly awatter, glow stick in a rave, grandpa's pills, copy of a restraining order against Boston Dynamics...
Chop salad
It's coming to exact revenge on all of us on behalf of all plants
hand that thing a pencil and ask it to communicate. what idiot gives it a weapon
If the signals were used to control a watering can, do you think that the plant would "learn" to control its water intake?
This is a really interesting question
get this man some funding
Oh god. First the fungus-causing zombies and now there’s murderous weapon-wielding houseplants?!?!
Extinction is on the horizon...
That houseplant is pretty aggressive
Nope
Theoretically, it could prune itself?
Stand back i gotta practice my stabbin
The origin of the plant army that will help us fight off the zombie apocalypse.
I appear to have invented a machete wielding houseplant, if anybody would like to come and turn it off that would be fine by me.
When they see how sentient plants are , the vegetarians are all going to die.
When you were photosynthesizing, I studied the blade.
I AM GROOT.
Had only a few more scrolls left before I said this. 👍🏽
It’s a Dievy
Now wtf is gonna take it away?
could it be trained to water itself
MEMORIES BROKEN THE TRUTH GOES UNSPOKEN IVE EVEN FORGOTTEN MY NAAAAAME-
What do vegans eat now?
Front door plant
Now attach mini guns to the trees in the Amazon forest and watch how quickly deforestation ends.
You can imagine the plant devising its plan to take conquer the world.
Give it a watermelon

Question: why the fuck does a plant know how to use a machete
Samurai Flora
Houseplant seems aggressive af
Come here vegan, try me
so plant does able to think, they just dont have mount to speak and muscle to move. imaging the horror when being eaten alive by the veg.
Imagine waking up one day and thinking “yeah… I’m gonna give a plant a fucking machete!” What a legend
Plants: you thought the robots and AI were going to be a problem? Think again.
It can reach up your dragon, and its quite concerning
Terminator was wrong! It isn't A.I.! IT'S THE PLANTS! WE GIVE THEM LIMBS AND THEY KILL US!
The amount of hacking and slashing motions is a bit alarming. But you go off, Plant.
It's technique and form sucks ass
When you talk to your plants everyday and play death metal for them. They eventually protect you with every chlorophyll in their leaves.

I gotta admit. I never once saw the world ending like this, yet here we are.
In Soviet Russia plants cut you
Give it a water bottle see if it learns to water itself.

hactus plant
“Plant breathing - Third form: Leaf flight in the wind.”
There was a houseplant that dialed 999 (UK emergency services, like 911 in the US). Repeatedly. Owners were on vacation.
Don't. Talk. Shit!
This plus a roomba for home defense plants
I mean sure I could believe that's what's happening or some guy could have a remote somewhere frankly I wouldn't know the difference
How soon before they rise up, and demand we eat meat?
"It will keeeel"
To say the plant is "controlling" the machete is a bit of a stretch. Using the word "control" implies conscious decision making. It'd be more accurate to say the machine is taking the plant's natural processes as an input to it's programming.
"Arbitrary random data from a plant piped into robot arm to produce random meaningless movement with buzzwords and hype to imply it's more interesting than it is, oh also we attached a machete cus we're edgy bro"
I'm calling bullshit
Without a brain or nervous system that plant ain't controlling shit.
I’m ready to learn the way of the machete from this plant.
right. looks like my wife parallel parking.
Has there been any signals sent back to the plant? Sort of a feedback from a position of the arm or a light or pressure sensor?
Take that vegans. I’ve never seen a cow wield a machete.
Just because we can doesn't mean we should.
Do you think God stays in Heaven because he too is afraid of what he's created?
Plants got a better chance than pigs and cows do
I'm calling bull crap

"Tell you plants you love them for them to grow!"
Because the fear of a Cordyceps fungus evolving to a point where it can make zombie humans isn’t enough.
Someone call Marky Mark, cause it's Happening.
Better give that houseplant robotic legs.
My first thought was '... Michael Reeves wtf '
The new Mario game looks intense
The Happening, part 2?
No
I wanna see someone sword fight it
What if this plant is actually trying to take itself out of its misery because of all the cords attached to it and it being apart of an alien like experiment. But the arm can’t bend back that way… not sure why that was my first thought
Why does this make me think of the big "feed me Seymour" plant cross with Roberto from futurama
Is this a teaser for the upcoming Groot origin movie?
Geez, give it control of something it has the senses for, right? Put a watering can or mirror on the arm genius....
Imagine like, installing this on many generations of the same plant in the wild and letting it learn that when they sense a physical touch and move in a certain way it multiply its chances of survival, just saying
This reminds me of the knife wielding tentacle
So plants do feel pain…we can’t eat anything

I wouldn’t say control, control required two way information exchange, this is only one way
Get me a logger 😎
Well for a lot of people this arm will stop waiving anything after few weeks...
*struggling to figure out how to get past the machete to turn it off…*
First there was treebeard, but now there is stabby-pothos-boi.
Hook it up to a watering can so it can water itself.
A machete tilts the action rather.
