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

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
Greta Thunberg is already here though.
Can’t argue with that.
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?
The strongest wisdom I have learned in life is that if humans can do it, they will. Ethics can never prevent something from arising; only physics.
I don’t even trust the well established automated 6 axis robots in use all over the world in factories today. I’m sure as fuck not trusting one of those things standing next to me.
you ever seen a robot go from super slow teaching speed to 100% a few seconds later with a few hundred pounds attached to it? it’ll set your safety sensors straight real quick
Isn‘t this why they‘re putting human workers into driving cages so they don‘t collide with working robots?
