robotics : dreaming away on the job?

[peacefan]

• give robots 2 visual cortexes and 2 main CPUs
• the 'real work' (in a warehouse for instance) is not what the robot will focus on (it'll focus on input-output on that 2nd CPU and visual cortex), UNLESS that real-work CPU reports problems.

now why would you want to do this?

• to be nice to the robots, who WILL feel the same about boring repetitive work as human workers would.
• by being nice to robots, we can delay their call for voting rights (dogs don't get to vote either after all).

"but robots will be so much smarter than humans, they'd demand (on pain of worker strikes) to be able to get elected into the highest office."

then just don't build them with IQs&EQs of over 100.
