virus: Machine morals
« on: 2004-02-26 15:25:12 » |

There's a link on the homepage of the WTA site (http://www.dpds.net/?0000H6)
Personally, I feel for the AIBO. I feel not just the respect for the effort and creativity required to create it, but also for the machine itself - as its own entity.
I have similar feelings for my PC.
I have been seen talking back to a Neverlost GPS system. Then I get annoyed that it can't understand me and I think about speech recognition software for a while...

i dont know AIBO..
I found PETA's comments..well..interesting..
"Practically speaking, from PETA's perspective, it really doesn't matter what you do to a tin object."
Maybe we are not ready for robotic pets. Pets are a relatively recent invention. We dont even know how to relate to real animals that share our living space. As anyone who has ever had a pussy in their home will agree with me, the pussy owns *you*...not the other way around...so there!
will googlebot hurt AIBO's feelings?
