老鼠烏托邦實驗：人類應該是在走類似的路。

當然設定點不完全一致。老鼠烏托邦實驗旨在驗證過於擁擠的鼠世界會導致壓抑，不生育，性別混亂，等等。

AI的發展會把+80%的人往上爬的路堵住。也就是說，過幾十年，多數人生下來就沒有什麽指望。吃吃喝喝，估計政府會發給基本生活費用，或者新發明的“食物”。反正就是不餓死就對了。

想起來的確是天定的道路。

The "rat utopia" experiment, also known as the?behavioral sink, was a series of studies by?John B. Calhoun?in the 1950s and 1960s that created ideal environments for rats to study the effects of overpopulation. In these enclosed "utopias," rats had unlimited food, water, and shelter but a limited amount of space, which led to a collapse of social structures and behaviors. The experiment resulted in high stress, violence, cannibalism, and ultimately, population decline and extinction, a phenomenon Calhoun termed "behavioral sink".?

Experiment details

• The setup: Calhoun created large, enclosed pens with everything the rats needed to thrive, but with a finite amount of space.
• Population growth: Initially, the populations grew rapidly, with new generations never having experienced a world with predators or disease.
• Social breakdown: As the population density increased, social hierarchies collapsed, and a variety of pathological behaviors emerged.
• Pathological behaviors: These included increased aggression, cannibalism, infanticide, and disruptions in mating, with some males becoming hypersexual or homosexual and mothers abandoning or attacking their young.
• The "behavioral sink": Calhoun coined this term to describe the resulting collapse in social behavior due to overpopulation, where the animals became unable to maintain social roles.
• The outcome: The populations eventually entered a terminal decline, and those survivors that did exist were completely withdrawn and "socially autistic," clustering together in a vacant state.?

Legacy and interpretation

• The experiment is influential in discussions about overpopulation and its potential social consequences.
• However, it is also critiqued for oversimplifying complex human societies and for using anthropomorphic language, which makes drawing direct parallels to human behavior questionable.
• Critics argue that human intelligence and adaptability allow for different coping mechanisms in crowded conditions than are available to rats.?
