Drones are making deliveries.

You know what's the funny thing about airplanes? 99% of the time those things fly on autopilot. They could even do it 100%, but then there are ethical problems that imo aren't needed.

i really don't want to live in a world where we rely 100% on such imperfect objects as computers

 

[Lakituthequick]

Makes me think of a thing my teacher said about it.

Hardware goes broken, software is broken.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

and you want to live in a world where we have to rely on said buggy technology?

 

[Lakituthequick]

We already live in that world.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

we don't have to though, as there are always options for non-automatic

like when you go to the grocery store - there are self-checkout things, and then there are still regular cashiers for when the self-checkout things fail (which happens a lot)

 

[Lakituthequick]

Yes. We have to.

Just think a moment of what happens when some central computer at Wall Street dies.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

...a bunch of businessmen lose money, which doesn't affect my life?

I thought they weren't capable of landing

I think your fear of "buggy" machines may be overblown. Machines are better at calculating and controlling the car rather than a human that may use his emotions to drive or the human gets distracted and she ends up crashing.

Little Drones in the near future, according to Amazon, are going to make deliveries to people's houses in the near future. Do you like or dislike the idea?

Muh. I'd much rather have drones selling people things than killing innocent civilians.

Drones creep my out in general but that's just a personal opinion.
