Murderbot is getting closer and closer
Every day we get closer to teaching the robots how to feel pain.
That’s all I want out of AI.
The ability to hurt my computer when it isn’t working properly.
We’ll soon have some law preventing artificial humanoid robot abuse
We don’t even have laws preventing real human abuse if the victim groups have no political lobby in a lot of countries.
Yeah but these laws are protecting corporate assets so…
Pain is a great teacher.
If you had the hardware to build a robot that could “feel” the world around it, and you wanted it to self-teach how to move around on its own (so that you don’t have to pre-define movement paths), you would probably program in a system that could interpret potentially damaging sensations as danger/bad and avoid them automatically (too hot/too cold/too sharp/too hard/etc). That system would essentially be a pain response.
There’s a bit in the simspons where activists burn down a lab and a robot runs out of the building screaming “why??? Why was i programmed to feel pain?”
Damage on company property was detected!
How about robots that heal people?
Very well, now we just need blue blood to have our Detroit.
Murderbot ahoyhoy
But can it heal a broken heart Dave?
