See Jack Williamson's "The Humanoids", which he wrote in reaction to Asimiv's stories and made precisely that point.

. "Second rule: To obey humans, such that it doesn't achieve agency and aspiration on its own. And the third: To do what humans tell it"

Isn't that the same thing?

The Third Law was that robots must protect their own existence (except where that would conflict with the First or Second Law).

Right, this is an indictment of policing in America, not Flock.

But since you clearly cannot trust the police, you double cannot trust them with access to Flock.

You cannot keep the police from getting access to Flock, therefore the only reasonable thing to do to Flock is destroy it.

Yes, this is only* because the police are corrupt, but since they are...

* Yeah, and some other people too, this hyperbole is for the purpose of the discussion in scope

I think we both know that ship has sailed

Good thing we hardly are made out of any bacteria.

Wait...

In which subfield is development not happening rapidly?

Won't you want those things to be software upgradable?

Yeah. This is what Americans voted for. More expensive solar panels.

Well, better deals for domestically manufactured solar panels...

I mean, we needed to do something after China years ago dumped on the US market and ran domestics out of business....something to try to nurture back our own businesses.

We need to bring back as much manufacturing as possible to the US and be more self sufficient....

You don't consider being dependent as we are on China to be a good thing, do you?

Did you not get a taste of how bad it can be during covid?

No they didn't, because Congress set the limit by statute and did not give the FCC authority to override it. This isn't complicated but you're still getting it wrong.

I don't want to be weain' no rabid fungus!

I just hope we make it until I'm dead, humans are just about done. I'm glad I got to live through the 80-90s.

I was thinking same thing (the 60's-70's were GREAT too)...I hope to retire in a few years, and spend the last of my days, riding my motorcycle around, brewing beer, bbq'ing on my log burning smoker adjust generally enjoying my latter days.

PLEASE let it last till I'm done with it...after that well, who cares?

AI and viruses....What could possibly go wrong?

Some give him planes, some want him to build a resort on top of their genocide...

At this rate we will end ourselves with AGW before we achieve AGI.

But if not that, it'll be nukes or biotech.

It's looking increasingly like the great filter is that ambition exceeds ability while ability also exceeds restraint, and at the same time, a species gains the ability to destroy itself. TBF our sample size is small, but it remains compelling...

Really? They were deliberately choosing genes? They selected them from a list? We usually only see that in science fiction, please provide more information on this amazing technological development!

They're all part of one creature with an inadequate brain and too many assholes. It's money and power (but I repeat myself) versus humanity and always has been.
