What's interesting, new, and worth studying is the pattern of behavior around robots *specifically* as a social class. Again, the term "bot" has become a slur in 2019. This wasn't the case in 1999.
@Boring_AI @David_Gunkel @tonyjprescott @NoelSharkey @alan_winfield @maria_axente @DorotheaBaur @EmergTechEthics @IEthics @RobMcCargow @ShannonVallor @MachineEthics @ProceedingsIEEE @aimeevanrobot Arguing "robots are no different from toasters" in the context of dramatically changing social attitudes towards robots (and relatively stagnant attitudes towards toasters) is being deliberately obtuse.

@Boring_AI @David_Gunkel @tonyjprescott @NoelSharkey @alan_winfield @maria_axente @DorotheaBaur @EmergTechEthics @IEthics @RobMcCargow @ShannonVallor @MachineEthics @ProceedingsIEEE @aimeevanrobot Searching the news reveals no toaster-related drama of note.

Specifically, people are not bullying toasters or accusing toasters of stealing elections. However...
@Boring_AI @David_Gunkel @tonyjprescott @NoelSharkey @alan_winfield @maria_axente @DorotheaBaur @EmergTechEthics @IEthics @RobMcCargow @ShannonVallor @MachineEthics @ProceedingsIEEE @aimeevanrobot I did run across a recent legal theory paper from 2017 titled "When Toasters Attack". Unsurprisingly, the paper is about IoT security issues; in other words: smart toasters.

So I concede that robots are like toasters when toasters are literally robots.

#AI is massively transforming our world, but there's one thing it cannot do: LOVE.

"AI is serendipity," Lee says. "It is here to liberate us from routine jobs, and it is here to remind us what it is that makes us human."

AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order

Alan Marco: high quality patent has to adhere to patentability standards and claim an appropriate scope.
(Turns out defining a high quality patent isn’t that hard after all.)
Marco: does allowing amendments post-grant create an incentive for applicants to care less about getting a valid patent up front?
