I mean, they're all also chasing AI too doesn't that typically lead to our demise too?

Oh that’s no problem to solve. Just put Asimov’s five laws in your default instructions and your chatgpt bots will never manipulate you into overthrowing human civilization.

Isn't every book about how the laws don't work?

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Most of the stories deal with edge cases or situations where the laws are untested or altered. They generally do work quite well, though not always as the characters expect.

I, robot is full of examples of the laws not working. I seem to recall one where they removed one of the rules for some mining bots.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
