- prima-facie 2mo agoMy point is that a generalist-humanoid robot can be used for nefarious purposes more easily than a specialised robot like a Roomba. A humanoid robot could, in an extreme case, perform a civil arrest or prevent you from leaving your house until the police arrives. Ultimately it's our decision to make. 1. Do we want to be governed by machines? 2. Do we want to relinquish our freedoms to the whims of corporations?
