Or laws at all at this point.

A huge point of I, Robot is that there isn't some exact instructions you can give robots that will have them always protect humanity. They have an inherent danger in their literalism

cant allow regulations of robotics or ai, because peter thiel says regulations will speed up the coming of the anti-christ, bud

Yeah it's crazy. I grew up reading about how the "three laws of robotics" are still imperfect, contradictory and filled with loopholes.

But these sci-fi worlds at least tried, imperfect as they are. Turns out IRL no one gives a fuck.

I have an AR-15 and armor piercing green-tips. Weird enough, I only have the green tips because they were the cheapest option at the time. At 100' they drill press a perfect hole in 1/4" steel.

Got nothing to do with being humanoid.

Bipedal predators are a rounding error, probably the most effective hunter/killer robot would be dog shaped and medium dog sized, with a back mounted turret.

Give it pack tactics, with radio comms....

If you consider the mentality of fascist dictators, the concept of an ever obedient non thinking workforce/army is very appealing. That's why.

Could it end badly even for them? Sure, but heck, if they don't make the human race ending robots, someone else will.

Why the hell does anyone think it's still a good idea to make robots that are significantly stronger than humans?

So they can easily do tasks better than a human or that a human could not possibly do. Like moving heavy furniture unaided.

The strongest wisdom I have learned in life is that if humans can do it, they will. Ethics can never prevent something from arising; only physics.

For most robots in factories the safety system is don't go near it. Because no one can guarantee that the robot will stop in time.
