  • Because 5 limbs with a dozen joints flailing in a house is a lot different than all of the scenarios you gave.

    A car has three inputs: gas, brake, steering. A fire can start only from a flammable source and in the case of electric cars, I still personally don’t prefer them.

    Anything can be dangerous in an extreme. But imagining a humanoid robot in the room with a kid? No matter how you spin that, no thanks.


  • Your phone can explode

    This happens almost never and can be pretty easily prevented with regular care to your device. It’s hard to have this happen with normal use.

    Your PC’s power supply can catch fire

    And I can run out of the room

    Your electric car can burst into flames

    This one has the most validity, and there’s a reason I drive a car from ‘03 with no driving assists

    Yet you happily use all of them

    Because I know exactly what to expect from their failures and how to avoid being hurt by them. A robot with the same limbs (that are likely far stronger) as a human can do more than 100% of the damage a human can do, especially in relaxed at-home setting.

    See, this is the actual reason why I’ll never trust robots. Even if everything is magically released in a perfect working state, all it takes is one buffer stack overflow from a bad update or static on a chip to turn your dignified butler robot into a limb detatcher in 200ms flat.

    If it can physically hurt you, assume at all times that machines are dangerous. This is why we have safetys and e-stops for everything. You can’t safety a humanoid robot as we just saw here.
