One mistake on a human driver's part could cost you your life and you put your life in tens of thousands' of their hands every time you go out for a drive. Difference is, the robot is far, far less likely to make a mistake than the human driver is. LinkPizza posted... Not only that, but it made mention of the three rules. You are aware that this is a complete non-sequitur, right? Asimov's three laws are a work of fiction, not something that was ever based on reality. I have no idea why you thought this was even relevant to bring up. LinkPizza posted... We already have humans who don't. so... So... what? Finish your sentences, please. LinkPizza posted... Either way, the third article does more harm than good, and proves my point better that we shouldn't have them... But we already do. Stop trying to think of this in terms of, "We shouldn't have technology that already exists." Never once in the history of civilization has anyone succeeded in banning a technology, because technology, at its core, is just an idea and you can't ban ideas. This is precisely why roboticists are working to understand the pitfalls of automation and AI so that they can better tailor the end-product to be as helpful as possible for humanity, something you already said you support. LinkPizza posted... As for the internet, you mention the library and Starbucks, which are two places that usually have opening and closing times. https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g181716-d4107456-r187624217- Starbucks-Richmond_British_Columbia.html https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g60878-d4997432-r334836513- Starbucks-Seattle_Washington.html LinkPizza posted... Plus, with Starbucks, it's still not free since you're have to order a drink to stay inside, or get arrested, apparently... So sit outside. Wifi doesn't stop at the door. LinkPizza posted... The laundromat down the street, for example, has "free Wi-Fi"... As long as you're doing laundry. Which you would be doing anyways if you're going there... so yay, free Wifi! --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
