not even me wanting to help others get better at art is altruistic, in the end it is motivated by seeing it lead to a positive end goal.

I think I'm going to avoid drawing military robots, there are already more than enough of them out there. I want to explore the vast unexplored ground of civilian 'bots.

NASA, on the other hand...

Yeah, those military budgets are nice and big and fat lol

Lol peoples self interests outweigh all else.

Imagine if all robotics researchers refused to develop weapons of war.

You know, sometimes I've thought scientists should band together and create an organization to control the way they allow their discoveries to be used.

no need for an internal skeleton though

compliant materials allow robots to interact with humans without accidently killing them with bad programming

Look into pneumatic robotics and vaccum muscles. those will be the carer robots in the future

And I will!

It's the same with mecha, I think they will be awesome for all kinds of civilian work!

28 Jun 19:50

Amit Dutta

Do it! :)

28 Jun 19:50

Mechanizoid

Yeah, that would be so awesome! I'll go and draw one at some point. Imagine that future.

:) thanks man, wishing for a little ai bot to help before that time comes, but haha probably not

Really Amit? I know exactly what you mean, it is hard work. Best of luck, buddy. :-)

Hold on the machine-gun wielding terminator bots. I want the robot helpers and companions.

I am going to be a full time carer at some point coming, and it's fucking hard work

28 Jun 19:48

Mechanizoid

--

Oh yes, I know! I help to take care of my elderly grandmother, and a robot helper would be so awesome for her. :-)

28 Jun 19:47

Amit Dutta

Yeah AI will be awesome. Just in elderly care alone...it would be amazing

The only realistic way to each another star is in a generation ship. We couldn't survive the trip in a starship mini-planet if we mismanaged it the way we do on Earth.

You know something though? If humans continue behaving the way we do, I don't think we will ever get anywhere else in the cosmos.

Ai will probably be a good thing despite all the sci movies

Awareness is pretty low

28 Jun 19:46

Amit Dutta

I don't fear it at all! I'm disappointed

28 Jun 19:46

Yeah, AI might very well realize it is illogical to take orders from a bloodthirsty monkey.

I'm less worried about AI, than about us
