it's the robot's masters that commission it to do stuff.

My son is a computer engineer. He has worked on robots for NASA, Welches, and Amazon. He connects the robot to the computer. Right now they are working on a 15 billion dollar factory here in the USA  to make semiconductors, processors and that sort of stuff. They plan to try to do what Intel and AMD are doing.

 "Strange game, the only winning move is not to play".  If so AI might not be all that bad.

That happens to me all the time with AI. It shuts down and refuses to answer a question on a controversial subject. We should learn how to avoid controversy.

in the movie War Games back in 1983. Playing Global Nuclear War  Game it concluded  "Strange game, the only winning move is not to play".

Back in the 60's they came out with the movie fail safe. People took it serious back then that they could destroy the world by accident. If the "enemy" thought a simulation was the real thing. 

The movie “Fail Safe” is a gripping Cold War thriller directed by Sidney Lumet. The plot revolves around a critical malfunction in the United States’ defense system, which mistakenly sends a squadron of nuclear-armed bombers to attack Moscow¹². The U.S. president, played by Henry Fonda, desperately tries to convince the Soviets that the attack is a mistake and works to prevent a catastrophic nuclear war¹².

And then there was my all time favorite,"Dr. Strangelove, or How I learned to Love The Bomb."

Interesting, but my Lord and savior is  the definition of controversy. 

"“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.  For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’"

This passage explains itself. If you have saved and unsaved people in a family, you may have conflict.  I see that in my own family. My mom used to bring us all together and resolve any conflict because we respected her. But when she died that was pretty much the end of that and now there are a lot of people in the family that don't even talk with each other anymore.

Hi, Sorry that is the case. Guess I have found it to be the dearest of Brethren that can cut deepest, while those that  do not know Jesus as Lord tend to not be so, hmm,- "uptight' about every little difference  of understanding, especially regarding "rules of the road". In general it was the emotional battle of tirades between the sects of Christianity that kept me away.

Reminds me of a pastor I had. He could preach and teach to beat the band. He would just get me started thinking about a subject. But he had a lot of ambitions and eventually, they did start up their own denomination. Yet the janitor could have done a better job of running the church that we had. They call it the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes within the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). How weird can you get? I suppose all churches have some sort of an issue so we can know our need for God.
