i love the phrase "get lost". you pissed me off so you should go to a place and forget where you are
@Lucy i never actually processed the literally meaning of this phrase until now, huh
@wallhackio @Lucy his ass is not surviving an isaac asimov short story
@monorail what is a "first law" and "second law"
- You do not talk about Fight Club
- You do not--wait no wrong laws
@wallhackio @monorail also ngl generally shocked that anyone who is A. is a programmer or B. is mildly interested in sci-fi wouldn't know about Asimov's laws
@wallhackio @monorail so um: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics
do not actually build robots with these principals
@monorail how do robots handle conflicting instructions? if I tell the robot "go left forever" and then I tell it "go right" what does it do
@wallhackio @monorail takes a screenshot
@wallhackio @monorail depending on it's programming, it will either: accept the new input as the new primary input, or: explode
@wallhackio @monorail but that is kind of the whole point of the stories; they're about how the robots interpret the laws in ways that aren't immediately intuitive to humans
that's why they're not programmatically sound
@wallhackio there's an isaac asimov story where a robot with a modified first law is given the frustrated command to "get lost", so it hides itself among stock robots that look identical. so now they have a dangerous robot that's been given explicit, second-law orders to not reveal itself, and they have to find it
