If you count anything with a battery/plug as a robot that may not be too far fetched.

By that definition, I would say they reached that milestone quite a while ago.

But how often do men have sex with robots? I didn't even know we were competing...

There is no competition, but a shitty tabloid’s gotta make money somehow

Shou @lemmy.world - 12mon

I suppose vibrators are just a very minimalistic robot. Recon women are in the lead of this competition.

For people not from the UK: The Sun is a bad joke of a publication. I would recommend reading some of their articles if you're in the mood for a good laugh....but I don't really want them to get the clicks.

Now for the sad part: this is one of the most widely circulated news publications in the UK and people seem to read it seriously.

UnderpantsWeevil @lemmy.world - 12mon

We've got plenty of Murdoch Press in the States. You don't have to explain what a shitty right-wing tabloid is.

If "Robot" includes vibrators of all variations this might already be true

Yeah cool it totally lives in my head too, which is at the top of my normal human body where I keep my thoughts like normal human people do

Nat (she/they) - 12mon

Does that mean my girlfriend is a robot?

35
Dunstabzugshaubitze @feddit.org - 12mon

has she ever harmed a human being, or let a human being become harmed due to inaction?

does she obey orders given by humans that do not lead to humans getting harmed?

does she protect her own existence, unless it would cause harm to human beings?

if you answered "yes" to all of the above, she seems to follows asimovs laws of robotics and thus might be a robot, if you answered "no" to any of the questions:

do you really think companies would put safety meassures into products unless they are forced to?!

rockSlayer @lemmy.world - 12mon

Also the 3 laws were specifically designed to have lots of loopholes, otherwise the stories wouldn't exist

24
yetAnotherUser @discuss.tchncs.de - 12mon

Just test whether she can harm someone by finding someone who will anger her to such an extent that she will hit them, proving she is no robot.

Small edit because I realized it's not exactly obvious:

This is a reference to a certain chapter in "I, Robot".

What about some ethereal law... like.... what if you took the first law one more step... we could call it the zeroth law!

Nat (she/they) - 12mon

Well, she wouldn't harm me, she takes orders from me :3, and she does protect her own existence.

Throw her in a lake and see if she sinks. /$

I can't blame them. Robots won't vote to legislate their fetuses.

It's the sun, they are a Murdoch tabloid famous for evading accountability for the shit they cause

One of the many reasons Liverpool is a great city is their unanimous rejection of the paper following the Hillsborough disaster. Reading the sun is a more serious crime than murder there.

Are there "AI" vibrators already?

No one mentioned AI, and also I don't know.

I've been told I pass as chrome, but I feel like taking advantage of that this coming week would be ethically indefensible.
