Hell, the family dog has some of the same issues. My point is, robots are not essentially new in their home-environment risks. We accept some level of risk now

Hell, the family dog has some of the same issues.
My point is, robots are not essentially new in their home-environment risks. We accept some level of risk now. The pessimistic view that home robots are impossible to deploy until their risks are reduced to zero, is nonsense.
My theory: we'll have home robots as soon as they're affordable and have a market demographic. Like any other technology.
- bee_rider 2y agoWe have higher standards for designed devices than sentient ones, especially ones that have a long history like dogs. I love my dog, but appliance with the QA tolerances of dogs would not sell well. Some dogs were bred for helping you work, others were bred as guard dogs. If I went around selling something like a 75% toaster, 25% gun device, and we don’t know which parts come from which, I think I would go to jail.
