robots

“Robots don't really need to see anything. They need to consume the data and they consume the data through APIs and so on.”

“When you're using deep learning or artificial intelligence, different methods of machine learning, it's really hard to articulate exactly why someone got exactly this loan, and robots would be much better at making that decision than people.”

“Other studies have measured people's brain waves while they watch videos of robots being tortured.”

“Unfortunately, a lot of the discussions are just fueled by, you know, superstition or moral panic, or in this context, a lot of it is science fiction and pop culture and our constant tendency to compare robots to humans and look at them as human replacements v…”

“Throughout history, we've treated some animals as property, as tools, some animals we've turned into our companions, and I think that that is how we're going to start integrating robotic technology as well. We're going to be treating a lot of it like products …”

“In the military, you have soldiers who become emotionally attached to the robots that they work with, and that can be anything from inefficient to dangerous because you don't want them hesitating for even a second to use these machines the way that they're int…”

“Like in Japan, they have this whole history of Shintoism and treating objects as things with souls, and so it's, I think, easier for them to view robots as just another thing with a soul, and they don't have this contradiction inside themselves of, oh, I'm tre…”

“And I think we're forgetting that we have a ton of history with animals where we have things that we've treated as property that can make autonomous, unpredictable decisions that can cause harm.”

“When the robot's name is Frank, people hesitate more.”

“So I think we're gonna see the same types of manipulations of the robot breeds.”

“There's this company in Japan that has this You know, standard assembly line for manufacturing, and like a lot of companies, they have people working alongside the robots on the assembly line, and so the people will come in and they do these aerobics in the mo…”

“As we integrate these robots into these shared spaces, it's really important to understand that people treat them differently than other devices, and they don't treat them like toasters. They treat them subconsciously like living things”

“With robots, I think they speak to our primal brain even more than like a stuffed animal or some other object that we might anthropomorphize because they combine movement and physicality in this way that makes us automatically project intent onto them.”

“Which is one of the reasons why we spend so much of our time building robots, because they do the same thing over and over again.”

“Suddenly we can actually create infinite universes. Some are for robots, some are for creativity, some are for socialization, some are for travel, some are for storytelling. It suddenly will enable us to live in a multiverse.”

“I don't think robots are building the next data center, at least not right away. And so that is going to be the constraint. And so these jobs are not really going to go away.”

“The great industry of the future that we could spend a long time talking about is gonna be robots, right? AI in mechanical form which is gonna be, you know, I think the biggest industry that's ever been built.”
