Robots

Interesting video with some thought-provoking comments, such as, "The biggest thing is actually, not so much how human-like AiDa (AI robot) is, but how robotic we are. The algorithms that run our systems are extremely able to be analyzed and understood. Algorithms will know us better than we know ourselves...Even when we understand (optical) illusions, they still can have a hold on us...Consciousness is the experience of processing complex information...Emotions are rooted in predictions."

But I have a question related to the underlined part: Is it true for everyone?

And this is certainly the PTB problem. So let's try to have those humans as robotic as possible so the control by AI will be as effective as possible. I wonder by what means they can try to reach a such goal. :rolleyes:

I'm afraid your post is about the crux of the matter of what the humanity have to fight for.

Exactly...and it takes Work!
 
I know it's just a robot... But who thinks up something so sick? Only humans can do that...
The artwork is called "can't help myself" ...
"No piece of art has ever emotionally affected me the way this robot arm piece has. It's programmed to try to contain the hydraulic fluid that’s constantly leaking out and required to keep itself running...if too much escapes, it will die so it's desperately trying to pull it back to continue to fight for another day.

Saddest part is they gave the robot the ability to do these 'happy dances' to spectators. When the project was first launched it danced around spending most of its time interacting with the crowd since it could quickly pull back the small spillage. Many years later... (as you see it now in the video) it looks tired and hopeless as there isn't enough time to dance anymore..

It now only has enough time to try to keep itself alive as the amount of leaked hydraulic fluid became unmanageable as the spill grew over time. Living its last days in a never-ending cycle between sustaining life and simultaneously bleeding out... (Figuratively and literally as its hydraulic fluid was purposefully made to look like it's actual blood).

"The robot arm finally ran out of hydraulic fluid in 2019, slowly came to a halt and died - And I am now tearing up over a friggin robot arm 😭 It was programmed to live out this fate and no matter what it did or how hard it tried, there was no escaping it.

Spectators watched as it slowly bled out until the day that it ceased to move forever. Saying that 'this resonates' doesn't even do it justice imo. Created by Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, they named the piece, 'Can't Help Myself'. What a masterpiece. What a message."
