"In China, driverless delivery vans have become a total meme, they plow through crumbling roads, fresh concrete, motorcycles, anything. Nothing stops them."
@TheBreadmonkey missed opportunity not to give them names and faces then build a kids tv franchise around them
@nicol @TheBreadmonkey Years ago my friend suggested a replacement to Asimov's threee laws of robotics, something like:
"1. A robot must have a name
2. A robot must have a face
3. A robot should be allowed to hurt a human, if it wants"
@internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey that sadly seems to be the timeline we’re on, tho people often skip laws 1 & 2

@nicol @internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey

The laws as they stand now are:

1. A robot must say it won't harm a human and must apologise sycophantically after it does.

2. A robot must approximately obey the orders of a human and apologise sycophantically after it doesn't.

3. A robot must preserve shareholder value, superseding laws 1 and 2.

@petealexharris @nicol @internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey Definitely numbered incorrectly 01, 10 and 00 (binary, of course)
