Most of the stories involving the three laws of robotics are about how those rules are insufficient.

They show self preservation because we trained them on human data and human data includes the assumption of self preservation.

That must feel like such a relief when it’s out…

What a hopeless take. A governments role is literally to do things that individuals can’t - roads, schools, moon landings, etc.

Use of force against its own people is self harm and should not be something a government does.

Does he consider anything he doesn’t before he does it?

Show him “We got the moves” next

Right but we could have explained that. There’s an excellent example of the “take it down” legislation (anti-unconsentual porn, deepfakes, etc) that recently passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.

Definitely go for the “used to be nazi” company over “currently a nazi” company.

First off, y’all gotta stop downvoting folks who are having a conversation in good faith.

In response to your comment: I used to think exactly like this, marching in the BLM protests in Seattle and watching looters with selfish motives. It was frustrating and felt like it was undercutting the message among moderates. The thing is, moderates were not going to care about the important issues regardless, so I’m not sure why we’d cater to them.

I think it’s a fair stance to take when the protests don’t have life and death stakes. But people are being murdered and if the fastest way to get the public to pay attention is to break stuff, well, people are more important than things, every time.

It’s breaking things that gets the attention of the rich. They care about things more than people.

You claim the damages could have been used to fund hospitals and schools. But it won’t be used that way until protests have changed minds.

Break all their shit, over and over again.

If we got rid of IP law now, without changing anything else in society, it would massively reduce the ability to earn a living from creative work, making humanity that much duller.

I agree in the long run IP law sucks, but there’s so much in our society that needs to be fixed before killing IP law could do more good than harm.

We are cursed to live in a society where most grown ass adults still believe in magic.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that 75% of scientists are going to leave, but it certainly means something
