Fun Stuff > CHATTER
This thread is like a broken pencil: pointless.
Morituri:
There's a guy in one of my meetup groups who works on military AI. You know. Autonomous attack Drones, Reconnaissance robots, ambulatory equipment-carriers that deploy with troops, bomb-disposal robots, bomb-delivery robots, robot firefighters and damage-control robots for Navy ships, etc....
Who thinks mannequins are really, really creepy. And goes out of his way to avoid them, because they're so disturbing.
I happen to think the idea of a "bomb delivery robot" running into somebody's camp or somebody's building on its spindly little legs dodging around and over various obstacles (and blowing down doors, or guards, that it can't dodge or smash through using the moral equivalent of a giant sawed-off shotgun) is pretty darn creepy and disturbing. I mean, when it reaches the recipient's apartment, what does it do, knock on the door and request a signature for the package? Um, probably not.
Sometimes I wonder if he owns a mirror.

Humans will pack bond with anything.

Jimor:
You don't want to piss off the war robots by anthropomorphizing them like that.
