Blake Lemoine may have a point.
“The robot broke the child’s finger,” Sergey Lazarev, Moscow Chess Federation President, told Tass news agency. “This is of course bad.”
you think …?
No, Discourse. My topic is absolutely NOTHING LIKE those topics. Don’t be stupid.
Turing test passed!!
In communist Russia chess robot physically check you!
The robot was quoted as saying: “Bidi-bidi-bidi, fuck you, Buck!”
Somewhere, Isaac Asimov is sighing…
I call buggy software. Somebody should have checked (no pun intended) that the bot could recognize the difference between a child’s finger and a playing piece, yet we march inexorably toward self-driving cars. What could go wrong?
Some car is going to drive over a seven-year-old boy’s finger, just you wait and see!
I’m reasonably sure that the robot in question does not have a positronic brain.
The kid should have let the robot win. Kids don’t break robots’ fingers when they lose. Robots have been known to do that
The incident.
Robots are known to break children’s fingers?
I didn’t know it was that common.
“Let the Wookie win.”
So it’s not just old people who need robot insurance?
The Tested channel with Adam Savage has a Spot robot from Boston Dynamics.
Adam has mentioned how dangerous it can be sharing space with robots. Their movements don’t take into account any humans that are in the way.
Boston Dynamics did have a representative working with the Tested Team. The project went on hold during Covid.
So, whose move was it? Apparently someone’s hand was on the board that shouldn’t have been-- Whose was it?
And even if the robot thought that the kid’s finger was a piece, shouldn’t that have looked like an invalid board, because it knew what the prior position was and a finite list of possible moves the kid could have made?
The zero’th rule involves chess.
Only in Russia! I would promote the robot en passant for an ilegal move to chess boxing.
The Robot Revolution has begun! Ambrose Bierce called it!
Expect them to install electronic eyes at the four corners of the chessboard. They could even combine the reset button with the chess clock
Decades ago, there was a chess computer that moved the pieces safely.
The computer was contained in a sealed plastic box with a chess board on the top.
Each piece had a magnet in its base and inside the box was a set of levers with another magnet to drag pieces into position. The computer moved the levers, avoiding knocking over any pieces still on the board.
