This robot video is weirdly depressing, and I've never been so happy to be human www.techradar.com/computing/th...

At least C-3PO had a personality.

I’m surprised he didn’t get more blasters to the neck, he was so irritating. :-)

Beat me to it!

watch Humans. it's a little light on the apocryphal but it's got its moments when you consider whether or not this is actually a good idea.

I grew up in a time when TV taught me something like this would have been comedy gold!

Like a living will I want to pre program my robot - what books I want read to me, no misinformation, no anti science rhetoric. I will program it now how to treat ME. To be honest I would rather have a conversation with a robot verses the FB and Twitter algorithms .

Watch ‘I, Robot’ movie first.

The show Orville had a whole storyline about Kaylons, a society of AI beings. Their origin story is so disturbing and these robot companions remind me of it.

Why is it that as a species, we regularly seek to subjugate other people or objects as our personal slaves.

I don't want a slave. I want a friend.

It also looks like it might murder at any moment.

I saw a raven robot today that could actually fly. I have no more technical desires. 😁

...do I get to be the person who tells you about Murderbot?

Aren’t you supposed to be working?

ekjohnston.bsky.social•36 days ago

Probably.

But also: the first one is called All Systems Red. Kevin R Free reads the audiobook, and they are all great.

I'm a strong believer in robot pals for lonely astronauts on missions to the stars, but for those of us stuck down here, it's probably better to make small talk with the neighbours or a bartender.
