AltText: profile-Drawing of guillotine; header-golden field under blue sky. My #superpower is that I really enjoy being the Radar O'Reilly of an office. Sure, I learned to code because I love cajoling a computer into doing what I ask it to. It's empowering. I think it also helped me learn to communicate better. Really, though, my favorite part of learning to code was helping my classmates learn to code. It never gets old. I approve followers cuz I'm the only me.

They want #slaves - #workers who will do whatever they're asked, without ever pushing back. And, because they're #assholes, they want their #robots to *understand* that they can't say, "no."

Wired: Emergency First Responders Say Waymos Are Getting Worse
(Publisher Apr 29, 2026)
"...Emergency first-responder leaders told federal regulators in a private meeting last month that they were frustrated with the performance of autonomous vehicles on their streets—that city firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and paramedics are forced to spend time during emergencies resolving issues with frozen or stuck cars. One fire official called them “a safety issue for our crews as well as the victims.” WIRED obtained an audio recording of the meeting...."

I genuinely do not understand the point of "humanoid" robots. If there's a task you need to automate, surely the best approach is to change the task to fit cheap robots, not to build expensive error-prone human-like machines?
The examples in this latest article make no sense.
Handling cargo containers: The whole point of containers is to make it easier for machines to handle them without human limbs.
Ground support equipment: surely wheels would be more useful than legs?
Even the example of cleaning cabins: isn't that basically a glorified roomba?
What am I missing?

I was promised an exciting #dystopia where a brave human #resistance fights against killer #robots
But what I got was #aBoringDystopia where #socialMedia #influencers yell at polite robots asking us to help them replace us

Die öffentliche Demonstration fortschrittlicher Humanoidroboter in China offenbart ein kritisches Defizit in der globalen Regulierung und ethischen Vorausschau, das die Kernfragen von Asimovs Robotergesetzen erneut dringlich macht.

Robo Cop could be coming to UK streets, in the next couple of years...
What with AI, drones, and facial recognition, I starting to think none of the people that make the big discussions, have never seen a sci-fi film, or read a sci-fi book.
