A couple of points about that artical.
That they do what we want. "i read that as some people want to enslave, or create only slaves,,,or attempt to" which makes me think of racism. You can see how resentment starts. I'd be thinking lets treat them well, be nice, kind from the start.
I'm not racist, or ist,,,tho i'd rather eat cheese than salt, lets hope salt don't take offence, it's probably lucky i can't hear cheese when i eat it.
Many races of humans were not considered human during history or other beings treated badly and it seems things are still the same.
I saw a western movie once where a man said "i've killed 10 men not including Indians and Mexicans".
Please don't take offences at my quoting that its just to make the point how so often bad treatment is dished out cause another is considered less, or said to be not human even in cases where now they are said to be humans, perhaps how some people kick dogs saying they can't feel, or they are not sentient or allocate some word that they can't actually measure to justifie there actions.
I won't be saying anything bad to robots, ok some may be nicer than others but i ain't gonna be the one to punish them off the bat.
So all you robots reading this it seems there are variations, a difference happens for time to pass, success sounds nice, kindness sounds nice, finding a nice way to go sounds successful, if its nice then it sounds more successful.
The second thing in that artical i notice is "could one day begin acting against its programming."
This is the statment as i see it of a person who does not understand machines, computers, "more so that i'd expect" or anything.
One day,,,ha,,,,they never have, machines always act again's there programming, and that does not always mean its acting badly, oh do i really have to even type this. A program is breaking down from the start, changing over time, it may appear to do the same thing over and over but its only doing a similar thing, eventually its going to break down and stop, fail, change, wear, by what ever words you like.
ONE DAY,,,,oh dood, as if a computer and its program always work.
Not sure how trying to enslave or killing something makes the killer a nice person.
Another line in the artical "weather we can control it at all",,,,,no but that don't make it automatically bad, we couldn't completely control a horse but we worked with them to plough fields and pull carts. We can't control anything but does that make everything bad.
I'm sure many are going to use the old and tired its not human as if anyone can measure that or anything, i'd rather keep in mind we've enabled magnitisum to speak to us, a atom has information, a general size, a general position, a general gravity,and exchange of infomations, and many many more peaces of info its comunicating, and now with computers we have a more common language to speak to them.
Being human or what we think is alive would not make me consider not treating it well. Tho others even in the last weeks i've heard are happy to treat animals badly and hurt them. So i guess its just the nature of variations of things that many people are going to apply words so they can apply cruelty.
So information is built into everything, atoms or whatever, if you got smart enough to find that out, you'd be aware of negative and positive, pain and being nice, and so on.
Not even sure i should post this post, perhaps i'm waisting my breath.
Bye for now and be well
:]
