The age of robots killing its operators has come

[joekerr31]

hey that makes an interesting point.

a female fembod wouldn't 'accidentally' rape you - because it can't. well i suppose it could fist you up the *ss. but that's pretty easy to program in so that it neve rhappens.

but if women (or gay guys) had a manbot, even the smallest glitch could end up in a rape scenario.

so they probably won't bother making them. they'd only make fembots for men and lesbos.

They already have mechanical dildo machines and stuff like that, so the women are covered.

OBVIOUSLY NSFW!!

I thought robots had a whole code of ethics or something as per their programming.

1. Through no action of sentient will a human come to harm.

2. Through no lack of sentient will a human being come to harm.

Someone back me up on this?

Only if they're programmed that way. A machine is only as good or evil as the person who created it.

I know of no robot or AI that is nearly sophisticated enough to have rules like this implemented in any meaningful way. On top of that the most sophisticated robots will almost surely be military and thus, well connect the dots.

Ha ha, I think I've seen too many Science Fiction movies. I can't remember which one this is from though. I'll try to find out.

Ah here it is.

Three Laws of Robotics are a set of three rules written by Isaac Asimov, which almost all positronic robots appearing in his fiction must obey. Introduced in his 1942 short story "Runaround", although foreshadowed in a few earlier stories, the Laws state the following:

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 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.

Later, Asimov added the Zeroth Law: "A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm"; the rest of the laws are modified sequentially to acknowledge this.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first passage in Asimov's short story "Liar!" (1941) that mentions the First Law is the earliest recorded use of the word robotics.[1] Asimov was not initially aware of this; he assumed the word already existed by analogy with mechanics, hydraulics, and other similar terms denoting branches of applied knowledge.[2]

The Three Laws form an organizing principle and unifying theme for Asimov's fiction, appearing in his Robot series and the other stories linked to it, as well as his Lucky Starr series of science-oriented young-adult fiction. Other authors working in Asimov's fictional universe have adopted them, and references (often parodic) appear throughout science fiction and in other genres.
