1 year agoI recently learned that they did a study, where students took care of a robot for a few days, and then were told to turn it off. 50% of the robots were programmed to say “please dont push the power button”. All of the participants who had a bot like that took longer to turn it off, and some even rejected to turn it off alltogether…
I’d recommend tje authors Jack London, Joanne Rowling, Rudyard Kipling, Terry Pratchett, Arthur Doyle… in no particular order.
