making androids that are indistinguishable from people is a bad idea, people would literally just start ordering flawless robot waifus and kill the population in the process
@taiz even if you did give them “free thought” i can tell you as a programmer that that’s simply an illusion, all it would take is a jailbreak and suddenly people have slaves
@taiz nah that's just nonsense
@CobaltVelvet the free will thing or the idea of people making them into slaves?
@taiz both combined
either they get sentience and we'll have to declare them equal (or they'll fight for it, at some point); or they don't and then they're not slaves, just machines
@CobaltVelvet i guess it’s the latter since sentience is impossible (unless you were able to do some stuff with brainmapping, in which case you might as well just grow clones)
@taiz @CobaltVelvet Yeah we might get sentience in machines in the next 20 years but it's going to take a entire datacenter or quantum computer. Of course there is a chance it will be able to design and miniaturize it's own children very fast.
