Science Experiment to train rats to play Doom reaches a new level. - Ambitious project to teach rats how to play Doom is still ongoing four years later.

Bossmanjack alogs are training for something nefarious

Oh, the rats did not actually beat MAP01. And here I was ready to call them better than games journalists already.

Video of the setup, it doesn't seem that interested imo

Rats get a 180 degree oled before me

 

[Otterly]

YES YES
One up from pigeon controlled missiles I guess.

Different ways to see this. One is I wouldn't doubt this is another way to work to find a way to dehumanize people even further than they already are. Imagine some dystopian scifi scenario and the air drones are monitoring and looking for the last remnants of Whites and Asians and all that, and you see someone get blown up and the pilot via telemetry was nothing more than an animal.

Another way to see this is outsourcing.
When do we finally tell pajeets that the rat can do what they can do, for half-half the price for double the work hours?

There is nothing about the scenario you bring up that isn't disheartening.

If only they lived longer, only then can they train themselves to complete the game. As well as enjoying a long life to being loved. Rats are quite limited by their lifespan.

Same with octopuses. They're super intelligent but only live about two years on average

Huh, this is new. I wonder if scientists will find out which genre of games rats like to play next.

 

[Kankichi Ryotsu]

They already trained them to rig my boy Austin just as he's about to hit it big, I see this as feasible.

They're quite cool as pets (trainable and quite intelligent) but you get such a short time with them

I don't think it'll ever be possible, rats are smart but do they have the ability to conceptualise the game? Or is it just seeing colours and getting smells not able to put them together with the input into something coherent? Even with the air puffs, I doubt it'll learn that its hitting the wall in the game, rather just what inputs to avoid getting air puffed (which will actually put it at a disadvantage because one of the easier maze solving strategies is sticking to a wall). Maybe a 3d version might help but who knows
