Two definitions - one with intention, one without

Yes, but they often mean multiple things. Very few dictionary entries only have a single definition for a word. You can't use "words mean things" to claim that "this word means only what I say it means, regardless of the other accepted uses it already has".
> You don’t think it’s important to draw a distinction between whether a robot was deliberately programmed to do something malicious as opposed to a bug which caused an oversight?
I do think there are times when it is very important to do that.
I just don't think that "ignore" is the right word to make that distinction, and isn't a distinction the authors were trying to make at that particular time, because if they were they would probably have used another word.
...at least, that's how I read it. It seemed clear to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- yogurthewise 3y agoI would say if the human driver was distracted and drove past a stop sign, he did not "ignore" the stop sign. He simply "missed" or did not see the stop sign. To ignore something, you have to be aware of what you are actively ignoring. Even in the link you provided for the "second" definition, look at the examples paired with it. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/ignore https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/ignor... > Definition: to give no attention to something or someone: > Example 1: They ignored our warnings. > Example 2: The mayor ignored the hecklers and went on with her speech.
