    This is ... just an automatic door opener. Least of our problems with machine intelligence. In fact, maybe the true threats are sending us visually interesting robots threats to distract us? 🤔🤔https://twitter.com/aljwhite/status/963150562534412299 …

        I think a lot of it is that these are robots firmly in the uncanny valley territory because of how they move

        That's kinda her point, you see what this door-opening robot does & can control it. Not the case with Facebook or YouTube or Twitter algorithms, esp for vast majority of us. At times even engineers who designed the algorithms don't fully grasp how they do what they do.

        Did you see the blog and videos posted by guy who sent his robot into Daichi to find out extent of failure in nuclear power plant after quake? Fascinating
