    Explaining love to robots was easy. They grasped almost every abstract idea right away-- except "profit." They called it "inefficiency" and kept looking for ways to eliminate it. Companies couldn't give our jobs to robots because they couldn't build robots who weren't Marxists.

        If only robots were sentient, of course then they might deduce that to maintain the safety of the planet that there are some other "inefficiencies" that ought to be got rid of...

        How does one explain freedom to a perfect slave?

        Interesting. The opposite of the AI dystopia where in pursuit of a singular goal like signing a signature well an experimental computer views humanity as a block to efficiency? I've described capitalism as robotic thus. Preferential attachment has some basis in network physics.🤔

        But the universe is an ecology. Network dynamics and feedback mechanisms work together in a kind of squishy squashy equilibrium between distorting factors and equal and opposite reactions. I love the way sci fi and fantasy tackle this stuff! Asimov's laws maybe need updating tho

        Something as (say it loud) important as do no harm has mixed results for doctors and say abortion debates and discussions about mental health, there were eugenist Marxists, and has not really held up against say pharma burying evidence on youth suicide. WTF r optimal parameters!?

        Broad, but not so broad as to be paralysis like RoboCop!? Or maybe that's just part of the aliens long game, lol. (Or maybe this is) Trash the idea of conscientious thought!? We're looking about ready to shoot the moon! And maybe flip it? Or find equilibrium? Aka heaven? 👽😫😉pic.twitter.com/HkjjcwDKsw
