Comment on Uber’s Flying Taxiparent

I missread that as "self driving crabs" and now I want to see that. :-)

You jest, but cybernetic implants to remote control cockroaches and flying beetles is a thing, and even normal people can buy the former (RoboRoach Bundle is about US$160), so I wouldn’t be very surprised if someone makes a crab-based delivery cyborg.

Wow. That's actually mind blowing... I never would have thought that neural interfacing could be so cheap and affordable

Neural interfacing is not that complicated. It's just a microcontroller with two of the GPIO pins connected to antenna nerves, at most $5 worth of hardware.

In similar fashion, you can "mind control" a cat with a laser pointer.

Um, all crabs are self driving when alive.
