Daniel is our newest <a href="http://www.decipherscifi.com/supporttheshow/">Patron</a> and he has a really great show. Science!<br> Show Notes<br> Asimov’s Three Laws<br> Enumerated in spectacular fashion in the film in order to get it out of the way and never speak of it again.<br> Natural Language Processing<br> It’s really hard! Errors in humor and social expectations. Infinite conversational loops.<br> Robot Personification<br> A nurturing environment maybe contributed to Robo Williams’ sentience. Art as awakening. Acting human. Emergence.<br> Robot Slave Class<br> Why don’t we see them?<br> Uncanney Valley<br> Turing tests. Robots, androids, biorobots. Robo Williams’ synthetic organs.<br> What is Life?<br> Actually kind of hard to define.<br> Immortality<br> “Death is an engineering problem.”<br> Goodbyes<br> Sir: Goodnight<br><br> Andrew: Goodnight<br><br> Sir: Goodnight<br><br> Andrew: Goodnight and his<br> Feedback?
