Here are Isaac Asimov's three laws for robots that I was aware of for years. Curious as to what the fourth one is.
The Three Laws
First Law: A robot may not injure a human or allow harm through inaction.
Second Law: A robot must obey human orders, unless they conflict with the First Law.
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence, provided this doesn't conflict with the First or Second Law.

REMEMBER that people are paying to spread FUD on both sides. BIG Players want the government to step in, and regulate them for safety (Think Big Pharma all over again). This blocks the small innovators from getting to play.
Because as we've seen in banking... When the German Bank Launders $100 Billion and collects maybe $10 Billion, it faces a fine for $30 Million...
And NOBODY goes to jail.

If you are I get caught laundering money. I promise the cost will exceed the profits AND we will end up in jail.

I think Nukes are a great example. It deters extreme warring.

Personally, we aer safe until the AI has to choose... Feed people... Or more power so it can accomplish it's goals...

This speech is brilliant!

Looking up NCR proved to be historically fascinating ~~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCR_Voyix
Mention of the military 1911 .45-cal. pistol (one of many products churned out by the company) triggered memories. The gun was introduced to me by the Marines (way easy foir me to aim and hit targets) and was touted for "stopping knock down power" despite gangsters in movies shot by Thompson subguns like in The Godfather tend to dance ridiculously around while being endlessly splattered by big .45 slugs. I was a Marine supply clerk and as yet never shot anyone but I bought a 1911 shortly after I became a civilian. Kept it in my car's glove compartment (too big for concealed carry) and called it my "car cannon." Because it only shoots 7 rounds me dino traded it in at a gun store around year 2002 for a big 9mm that fires 17 shots. That pistol I call my "car blaster" because it keeps spitting shots like a Star Wars sidearm.

HAD to +1 The Night Stalker, dino! When young I used one of those ancient printing devices and had a neighbor that worked for National Cash Register (aka NCR today) repairing them.

Remember the first RX7 I designed a stereo system for, man, was it quick!!!

My Miatas' been doing that since '89 (and before that the RX7 from '78.)
Enjoy!

It wasn't an engineer.
It was probably an insurance executive in conspiracy with a corrupt politician.

My Ranger has a split bench with a fold down arm rest.

I bet you do, That 5 on the floor make women even more attractive beyond what they may be already.

I've got 6 on the floor in the Mini Cooper I bought in early summer,. . makes driving fun again!

Dino we all wish we retained more facts - but even more, we know murder when we see it and have it described. We try to forget facts when the facts presented are sooooo incredibly disingenuous.

Love this, LMAO! Got me smiling tonight!

Thanks heaps!

I agree. They do look like Donald ducks.

Do not think you will they are not as frilly as the Lexis, BMW, Mercedes and other female drivers want to be seen inside, bunch around these parts Frankly I get lots of looks with my 23-yr old Honda Accord with five on the floor!

Still looking for him - but yeah, noticed.

What a terrific observation!!!

Mankind in merely an evolutionary step on the path to machine intelligence.
I am not sure we are there yet but it appears that we are well on the way. And i fear it is like the growing exponential curve of the National Debt.

According to another meme I saw awhile back, those aren't American geese, they're Donald ducks.

Lying is humanity’s oldest life hack.
It’s in our DNA, our religions, our marriages, and every politician’s toolkit.
Hunters wear camo. We gaslight ourselves.
The elite liars become car salesmen or senators.
We invented juries just to sort out the bullshit of who is lying on the stand.
So if AI is a mirror of us…
congrats, we’ve built an Olympic-level con artist. 🤖🤥

Looney tunes on Sat morning , great !

Me dino thinks. Therefore, me dino I am also thinks that more thinking about this is what we all need to do.

A big LOL on the Woody pic....did everybody notice the DeLorean at the 50's Micky D's?....where's McFly?

It would be good to see, but is completely unexpected!

OMG! Me now an old for an ancient dino with my very own personal home computer clean forgot how so many decades ago I had to use the Dewey Decimal System and walk around in a library to find information to get good grades for such things as term papers in both high school and college.
All through my seven years during the Seventies as a small newspaper reporter, I even had to roll sheets of paper into a mechanical typewriter. Written articles were called "copy" placed in a wire basket beside always a female typesetter.
I used to date one of those ladies. Her grandma liked me due to my getting her away from a local hoodlum for a boyfriend always in trouble.
Fresh out of the Marines, I was not afraid of much of anything back then.
Kolchak The Night Stalker was my hero way back then~~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ3X4...
