And they're still probably better than me. :(

Wasn't there a youtuber who made rat neurons in a petri dish play doom?

Why are we wasting time with AI when we could be funding this?!?

Let's see if the rats want to play global thermonuclear war.

"The rats playing Doom have become too good at slaying. We can't let them escape."

"They escaped."

But can you run Doom on a rat? I bet you can.

I think the main problem would be the controls. I mean, you could put a tiny bridle on the rat to steer, but how do you shoot? Pull the tail? (How you avoid being bitten while pulling the rat's tail is a separate issue.)
