  Isn‘t this why they‘re putting human workers into driving cages so they don‘t collide with working robots?

  Only a matter of time now. And we don’t even have the laws of robotics to protect us.

    Yeah it’s crazy. I grew up hearing about how the “robot laws” are still imperfect, contradictory and filled with loopholes.

    But these sci-fi worlds at least tried, imperfect as they are. Turns out IRL no one gives a fuck.

    A huge point of I, Robot is that there isn’t some exact instructions you can give robots that will have them always protect humanity. They have an inherent danger in their literalism

      It’s the underlying crux of the entire series, and even Foundation too. The Zeroeth law requires a massive war to develop it and still doesn’t solve the problem.

    cant allow regulations of robotics or ai, because peter thiel says regulations will speed up the coming of the anti-christ, bud

    I have an AR-15 and armor piercing green-tips. Weird enough, I only have the green tips because they were the cheapest option at the time. At 100’ they drill press a perfect hole in 1/4" steel.

  Probably hundreds of movies show all the ways making humanoid robots can go wrong. Why the hell does anyone think it’s still a good idea to make robots that are significantly stronger than humans?

    Got nothing to do with being humanoid.

    Bipedal predators are a rounding error, probably the most effective hunter/killer robot would be dog shaped and medium dog sized, with a back mounted turret.

    Give it pack tactics, with radio comms…

    If you consider the mentality of fascist dictators, the concept of an ever obedient non thinking workforce/army is very appealing. That’s why.

    Could it end badly even for them? Sure, but heck, if they don’t make the human race ending robots, someone else will.

      I give it 6 months until they forget their password or something and their entire empire collapses until they can get someone out from IT to fix it, but first they have to log a ticket or else no work is being done.

    So they can easily do tasks better than a human or that a human could not poasibly do.
