      Because the top ai companies want to be able to write the legislation to their advantage to stifle competition, grandfather in bad shit they’ve been doing, to avoid payouts, and to ensure no startups can do what they did. Boom, the big few have a strangle hold and their economy has a chance at not collapsing, or at least they have a better shot at controlling it than if there’s more competition and someone else writing regulations.

        Capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with democracy. If money is power, and it is, it supersedes democratic institutions and are therefore a system of government, not some neutral model of resource distribution.

          Its not a given that money will supersede democratic institutions. If the population can’t protect their institutions then the democracy has failed. Its a failure of civics more than a success of money.

            It is, in my meaning, a given over time. What you are talking about is the democratic institutions defending themselves from capitalism by reigning it in.

            Meaning, capitalism unfettered supersedes democracy. Over time.

            Failure to address that problem is not a failure of democratic institutions as matter of moral failure, just that yes, if we allow capitalism to run unimpeded it will always lead to fascism. Democracy can but try to save itself but while it is contingent on a moral and equitable basis of government, capitalism is just a cancer that promotes private power over collective, by the nature of its beast. And it is very alluring because not only does it reward you with riches and comforts, it also suggests a moral incentive, in which if you are successful within the system you are judged as a moral person as well.

            That’s gamified immorality.

      This generation of robots are like cnc machines, executing instructions like machines. We want to regulate the future generation of robots that will have decision making abilities.

    This is so very fucked up, just at face value.

    The robots make a great point though! I’d rather vote Robot than the religious conservative hard right in Poland.

    At least the robots understand logic.

    Now we just have to wait for one of them to kill it’s owner because it doesn’t want to be destroyed for an upgraded model.

      They can’t. That would break the first, second, and possibly third laws of robotics.

      They were told the three first laws of robotics, right?

    They don’t want you to know this, but robots are free if you stick them in a big copper mesh bag and toss them into your trunk.
