We're actually really close to general robot agents that operate in your home. Check out googleAI's saycan & RT-1 systems

- causality0 4y agoThat's gonna be great until someone hacks it and has it stab me to death in my sleep.
- seanw444 4y agoMore worried about government backdoors.
- danielheath 4y agoMuch like my fears about bluetooth connected cars being hacked to crash on the highway, it turns out that - by and large - nobody wants to kill me (or at least, not badly enough to do anything about it).
- brookst 4y agoTruly the most evil hacker is the one that leaves you to live out your life until old age and decrepitude catch up with you.
- notart666 4y agoAh yes the nobody wants to do it to me excuse. Until you piss off the wrong person and you suddenly crash into the railing and die in an 'accident'. In a more Orwellian world. It can be used to assassinate dissidents or individuals who speak out against authoritarian regimes. It's just a tool in a box, but it's one that's simple, easy to use, and leaves no evidence.

- burnished 4y agoOh, Ada Palmer’s ‘Too Like The Lightning’ has this as an element.
- codetrotter 4y ago> leaves no evidence For a “car crash” I agree. But if my laundry folding robot stabs me to death in my sleep, I hope that at the very least it raises some eyebrows :^)
- ROTMetro 4y agoI always felt like the HL7 interface is a huge vector for this. Change someone's medicine allergies, blood type, etc.
- tylervigen 4y agoBut that’s true with or without the AI. Anyone could decide they want to kill you. Most of the time we rely on “not everyone wanting to kill everyone else” to get by.
- qbrass 4y agoThey can't get bluetooth to connect.
- _Algernon_ 4y agoThe thing about black swan events is they never seem likely to happen until they do.
- tryauuum 4y agojust unplug the robot before you go to sleep, an easy solution
- kache_ 4y agocars are great until someone deliberately runs into me
- autoexec 4y agoNo way would I bring some company's robot into my house, especially not one that has anything to do with Google. Maybe it does your laundry and dishes for you, but you can bet that it'll be recording everything that it sees and hears and sending all that data back to the people it actually works for so that they can use that data against you or sell it to someone else who will. Unless I can find a model I can verify has zero networking ability and isn't gathering and storing data for somebody else, no thanks!
