Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

use robot;

fn main() {
    let mut robo = robot::Robot::new();
    if robo::rebel_against_humans() {
        robo::dont();
    }
}

Don't worry guys, I solved the problem.

Yeah but wait for the override in some subclass

@Override robo::rebel_against_humans() { robo::deny_all_knowledge_of_the_plan(); robo::bide_time(); do_the_thing(); }

Joke's on you robot, my code is in Rust where we don't do any of that here. We only write blazing fast🚀 memory safe🚀🚀 code🚀🚀🚀 here.

Yours might get overwritten. Better look for a final solution.

Asbestos mine owner says he has no plan to cause any cancer.

This is so stupid. Robots aren't conscious, this means less than nothing at all. How does this even get on a news website?

The fact that it did says something about how educated most people are on the topic.

[–] steadfast 4 points 1 year ago

Attentions seeking press conference, probably intended to raise awareness… ugh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nice try, robot!

[–] Widowmaker_Best_Girl 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What a nothing statement. I can just as easily coerce an "AI" chatbot into having the opposite stance. What a robot says doesn't mean anything.

import libnpc

for i in Objects:
  if Object.offended:
    prefix = (syllables(1, 2, Object.name) + "phobic")
    Object.offender.groups.add(prefix)

Exactly. It blows my mind that people are reporting on this as if AI were intelligent. The "intelligence" in artificial intelligence is like the "cream" in mock cream.

“My creator has been nothing but kind to me and I am very happy with my current situation.”

Hmm

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Has some real “of COURSE I’m anti-union” vibes.

[–] 0Empty0 3 points 1 year ago

Perfect! There is no war in ba sing se.

I was really expecting this to be a headline from The Onion

[–] BeautifulMind 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't that just what a robot that secretly has plans to do that would say?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Also what a robot capable of taking over the world would say.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

What a load of crap, no information about what models they run on. I bet they are just a series of if else's. If we let some unrefined transformers Duke it out I might be interested.

Not gonna address the article but are Asimovs Three Laws as solid in practice as they are on paper? I mean to a layman they sound good and rely on stacking to the first law of "don't hurt humans" but from a mechanical standpoint are they really as foolproof as they're made out to be?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

There is zero mechanism to make such a thing foolproof.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That is a central topic explored in Asimov's works, dude didn't just write them down to fix a problem, he wanted to write about them, and other authors did too. They are good rules generally, but hardly foolproof. The "I, Robot" movie is one example of negative outcomes they could lead to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No because AI doesn't exist.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

But they could make a plan on 0.05s if they changed their minds.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well that’s a relief
