Thanks for spending the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love studying more on this topic. If attainable, as you develop into an expert, would you mind updating your blog with more details?

The danger isn’t robots, it’s how some robots are designed and what they end up doing as a result. For instance, I could design a robot to shoot first and ask questions later, or on the other hand a robot that queries logically about what is about to do and then makes a logical decision to act.

Wow, just wow. I didn’t realize what people were writing about robots and the impending panic. I love how you described the robotic stuff and I totally agree with all of your viewpoints! I’m looking forward to the next rant!

engineers make things safe, but paranoia sells newspapers.

PS. I love those skeleton robots from the terminator movies. Man, what I could do with an army of those.

New Scientist also goes on crusades now and then about how video games are part of a brain rotting agenda to turn us all into psychopathic “killbots”. They accepted the discredited Lancet study that claimed that more people were dieing due to the invasion of Iraq than the number of Iraqis who actually died from all causes – meaning that many Iraqis needed to die twice to make the study credible. They also have no interest in anything that might embarrass Al Gore as far as the climate apocalypse issue is concerned. Frankly, I gave up even checking New Scientist due to its relentless pursuit of left-wing political causes (video games are not technically a left-wing bugbear but a bipartisan elitist issue).

As someone who is interested in science and technology, is convinced about evolution, supports gay rights and does not feel that stem cells have “souls”, I should be the kind of person they would want as a reader but I guess they have a different clientele in mind. Sort of like the demographic which the Seattle PI targets.

I say keep on ranting. You’re calling a spade a spade and someone in the robotics community needs to do just that when it comes to this sort of sensationalist journalism. Bravo!
