• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Resonant Computing Manifesto⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If we could just adopt Asimov’s three laws of robotics to computers and robots, we’d be better.

  ​* First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. ​

  • Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

  • Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law

  Now someone will argue harm isn’t specified (physical harm? Mental harm? Financial harm?), but I interpret that as any harm.

  After eight months of legal wrangling by her attorney, prosecutors dropped the bond violation charge against her. And, last month, she went to trial on the battery charge and was acquitted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Godfather of AI' says tech giants can't profit from their astronomical investments unless human labor is replaced⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The remarks echo what he said in September, when he told the Financial Times that AI will “create massive unemployment and a huge rise in profits,” attributing it to the capitalist system.

  So if the middle and lower classes don’t have jobs, the Wealthy are going to circulate money back and forth? So trickle-down becomes trickle-around? Trickle down doesn’t work as intended. So trickle around is likely to fail, too.
