So I just got done watching an episode of "through the wormhole".It was focused on robot development and it was all good except for one thing that sort of gave me the chills.There is at least one scientist that is teaching robots to develop their own language.In the early experiments they just gave two robots some simple rules and then they vocalized at each other,mostly requesting simple movements, making corrections and soon enough they were making up words that the lead scientist didn't understand until the robots taught him what they meant.I guess I can get behind this, I mean why wouldn't we want robots to be able to talk to each other without us being able to understand them.</nervous laughter>
Don't forget the three rules!1 A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2 A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3 A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Someone is familiar with Isaac Asimov I see !
I have not read the book but I have seen both movies!
I read R.U.R. long before I read Asimov.
Interesting, Iv'e not read R.U.R, i"ll look for it.My favorite robots are in the Saberhagen Berserker series..
Hmmm, first I've heard of RUR. Interesting.
Consider ourselves lucky that the Nexus 6 will have only a 4 year lifespan, and be limited to the offworld colonies.
Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
I don't think these guys heard of those rules...
They didn't listen to Hal, either.
The robots that made the biggest impression on me that I haven't seen mention.The robinson robotGort from the original day the earth stood still. The remake robot wasn't too bad either.Robbie the robot from forbidden planet.
HAL: I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen. >>>>HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors! HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.
You know what?After giving it some more thought I don't think it matters.I'd like to see a show of hands of folkes that understand http ,https. ssl, tcp, ip, ftp, scp, etc.I reckon they ain't killed us yet.
OK. My hand is up. Now what?
That makes us a danger to the robot conspiracy.You've been warned.
I keep a portable EMP device in my pocket. Robots beware.
There is a joke there somewhere.
