Agree these aren't the people I want doing this, but are you saying we should tuck heads in sand and just not build robots?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Agree with your comment. It seems most people are conservative about stuff like this due to fear.

I personally want the AI and the cool robot stuff, without hesitation. Our problem (imo) is our current corrupt, exploitative capitalist system. We need regulation that protects the entire populace, not just the billionaire and corporate leadership class. All these advancements should absolutely be explored, but for the benefit of all, and protections for everyone.

How we fix this though, I'm cynical. Which is why I respect people who are mostly afraid of the possible negative consequences.

I want Rosie the robot from the Jetsons, who vacuums and does the ironing. Instead we will probably get the RoboCop and the Terminator.

I'm sensing that were more likely to see robot cops (like from Elysium) than we are to see Rosie

I think robot cops will be superior to human cops despite the movies. Some objectivity would be nice for a change.

I'd imagine they'd be all objective and not emotional, just depends on their programming and who programs them

Self defense is off the table, they never shoot first, code would need to be available to tax payer review.

Yes. If ethical standards don't exist for an industry then it shouldn't fucking exist.

No, but there definitely should be a billion safeguards on it, and they should in no way be under the direct control of those already in positions of power

Hard to build that many safeguards on something so new, safeguards need to develop with it. We've got asimov etc of course but thats not "billions"
