Safety Concerns with Humanoid Robots

A safety concern, especially with humanoid robots,

because at least the car can't

chase you into this building, not very easily,

or chase you up a tree,

or you can run up a flight of stairs

and get away from a Tesla.

I think there's a Stephen King movie

about that, if your car gets possessed.

But if you have a humanoid robot,

it can basically chase you anywhere.

So I think we should have some kind

of hardwired local cutoff that you can't update from the internet.

So anything that can be software updated

from the internet obviously can be overridden.

But if you have a local sort of off switch,

where you have, say, a keyword or something,

and then that puts the robot into a safe state,

some kind of localized safe state ability,

an off switch,

where you don't have to get too close to the robot.

I don't know, so if we've got millions of these things going all over the place.

You're not selling it.

Just, you know, like.

No, I know.

I'm saying this is something we should be quite concerned about.

Because if the robot can follow you anywhere,

then what if they just one day get a software update,

and they're not so friendly anymore?

Then we've got a James Cameron movie on our hands.
