    Imagine seeing your dead relative reanimated as a robot so that scientists could study you 🗿

      iirc this was a major concern for face transplants. Person A gets horribly burned; person B dies; A gets B’s face; B’s mom sees A walking around with B’s face and has an existential crisis.

          Person C only exists within the crisis.

          Person C may or may not exist, at any given time.

          Person C also needs a new face; we have the means to get C the care they need, but insurance says ‘no’. C is becoming radicalized.

      I mean, animals (birds too) def have grieving rituals (“funerals”) and emotional suffering caused by loss of a close one.

      Seeing a reanimated corpse of that same individual would fuck beyond uncanny-valley anyone.

      And even without knowing the individual prior to assimilation, there is no way birds don’t recognise it as something different.
      It just isn’t physically harming them & won’t go away - what are they supposed to do?

    The Norwegian Blue prefers kipping on its back -and sometimes taking surveillance photos. Beautiful plumage.

          The only reason it was sitting on its perch in the first place was because it had been nailed there. It has ceased to be.

    But they’re already drones.

    This is a means for government to downplay the mounting evidence of fake birds. Now they can say “oh that one was a drone, but the rest are real you just happened to find the one done!”

    So they replace the dead mechanical parts with new ones but also flash a hacked firmware to enable reverse-spying?
    How devious.

    That’s cool and all, but it doesn’t beat a cat drone, an ostrich that flies, or a cowcopter. :D
