    robots that can operate heavy machinery do not interpret the world the same way we do, and do not have anything resembling actual intelligence. That is exactly why they can't inter…

    Redunancy and efficiency are common tradeoffs we are constantly trying to balance. It's only a question of how important the effects of downsides are. Sometimes someone dies as an …

    Suppose it depends on your country. Here's Finland's (10 §): https://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/1999/19990731 Although the constitution was recently changed (same one) here asw…

    It's doubtful all this would be required just for refugees. Though I've heard of conspiracy theories about taking them in order to justify all-encompassing surveillance to your own…
