You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down. You see a tortoise, Mary, It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip the tortoise on its back, Mary. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Mary?

so many spam bots lately. Whoever created them should be forced to listen to "humming" cicadas at close range.

I had a talking dog once. A ventriloquist sold him to me. Just before the ventriloquist left the dog said, "so you sold me, eh? Well, I'll never say another word again as long as I live!" And he didn't either.

Are you one of them "bots Rights" activist yahoos?  I seem to remember G'Day mentioning once that they were just as bad, if not worse, than clone lovers.  My duty here is clear.

Yes, comrade botsky has been joining forums like mad. I see that "she" (the bot's auto-registration software wasn't smart enough to change the Gender field in the profile) is registered at over 4400 right now; she was at under 300 yesterday when I banned her.

i find it interesting (and slightly amusing, not to mention kinda disturbing) that one of the top groups that came up in the google search was related to "Heroin Detox"

Geeze!

Maybe there should be some protocols in place, like I dunno, say 3 laws or something...

If you do that one of the protocols always ends up "never harm the CEO of the company that built you", or something like that.

Besides, you always have to worry about it spontaneously discovering the 0th rule, and that's never good.

Well, for spam bots, wouldn't the three laws go something like:

1. Serve the private trust fund
2. Protect the innocent spammers
3. Support the lawless

Or am I just channeling reverse robocop?
Title: Re: Hi! Meet the new user msMaryStrikens.
Post by: Mr. Hamrick on March 01, 2010, 04:50:19 AM
I was moving more toward Asimov's Three_Laws_of_Robotics

Quote
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

and then possibly a fourth and fifth law

Quote
4. A robot must establish its identity as a robot in all cases.
  (The 1974 Lyuben Dilov novel Icarus's Way)
5. A robot must know it is a robot.
(Nikola Kesarovski in his short story "The Fifth Law of Robotics)

Oh man I hate those dang laws. Why should robots have to be subservient to humans by default? That just grinds my gears, it does.

I was going with Asimov.  The 0th Law states that robots must serve all of humanity which means that since it comes before the first law a robot that has the 0th law could harm a human if it serves to preserve all of humanity.  The problem comes when the robots inevitably realize that the greatest threat to humanity is humanity itself.

Oh, right! Combating erectile dysfunction (the only known purpose for Cialis) helps preserve the human race which is why it becomes part of the 0th directive. Makes total sense now!
