@dominion_xy @delzcomics Na wa o.. did you take your time to read what I wrote?

That right there is one of the issues with application-specific robots, because you have to design them (and not just the software layer, but especially the hardware) to handle situations they weren’t originally built to encounter, otherwise you might as well accept the limitations for what they are.

Also, making application-specific robots “human” is not the point of my message. I only mentioned one of multiple reasons why humanoids are being developed. Application-specific robots exist for a reason, and humanoid robots exist for another set of reasons. We just have to understand the pros and cons and choose what is suitable for our case. For example, some people would not choose a humanoid robot only because it fits into their environment, their reason could also be that they don’t want to keep four different “Roombas” for all the different things they need to do in the house.

From time immemorial, humans have always sought to offload and delegate tedious and repetitive tasks. Reducing that to “trying to play God” or a “desire to have slaves” overlooks the complexity of human nature and development as a whole. In fact, slavery in itself is driven by the same desire to offload labor. It happened because there was no moral consensus then for why it shouldn’t, and it ended eventually with new moral and religious compass, and also the cost (the bloody revolts) eventually outweighed the benefits.

Regarding the reason these technologies don’t look like animals, it is because technologies are refined over time for optimization. In fact, earlier versions of many technologies we use today were inspired by animals. Some early trials of airplanes, for example, looked like birds. Multiple inventors experimented with different shapes and forms until the most efficient designs stuck, and we built on those. Technological development is far more complex and broad than the simple argument that “humans want to build other humans because they want to be God.”

I really like your take, and let me add to it: our world generally has been optimized for ourselves, and making robots that look like humans means they would automatically fit into that world for these tasks. For example, a humanoid robot that cleans rooms needs to be able to move between rooms. This involves opening doors, fitting between door frames, etc. The door knob or handle was designed for the human hand, and a humanoid automatically has what it needs to open it. Another example is that a snow-clearing robot that looks like a human can immediately use the snow shovels humans already use, because the snow shovel was designed for the human hand.

Also, for those who might not be aware, several robotics companies are building different types of robots, and some are building application-specific robots, which is what people who disagreed with you here are likely referring to. Building humanoids doesn’t stop the development of a snow-clearing robot that doesn’t look like a human, I have personally worked on one before. However, the motivation for building humanoids is justifiable.

Hmmmm… so when an employee does something wrong to you (or your space) out of ignorance or oversight, you fire them immediately, no verbal or written warnings? great!

And btw, hope you know in certain countries with strong employee protection the employee can sue and win easily.

@itzchristunique It’s interesting to realize that a lot of Nigerians don’t know that this is a serious offense in “saner climes”, and legally it is called “child abandonment” and its punishment can be up to 14 years in prison depending.

Whatever you do today, please don't forget.

Don't forget that a child, who could have been 20 today, is currently laying cold in the ground.

Her murderers raped her to death and they get to live their life.

Please don't forget. Her name was Ochanya.

@Rukeiyahh @chymer22 @TonyeCEO Yes it does and there’s nothing wrong with people’s point being invalid sometimes.

Me with Amazon about 4 years back, except for me it was 4 rounds in a single day, back to back to back to back!

I pushed every other thing aside and locked in about 3 weeks before the day.

Practiced DSA, Leadership Principles and System design like I was going to represent humanity in a programming competition against aliens.

At the end, the rejection email was so cold I almost fell into depression.

However, that saying "what doesn't kill you..." fulfilled itself, because after that exercise I was acing interviews like a hot knife through butter

I believe majority of men won’t have an issue supporting their wives when they genuinely need it. It's about genuine requests for help, rather than feeling like they’re being asked to fulfill a duty without considering the broader dynamics of the relationship.

For example, when the request is something like, “Can you please help me with this because I really need it?” or “Can you help wash plate (or clean something) because I’m overwhelmed?” that tends to be more acceptable and less frustrating.

The problem starts when the request feels more like an obligation, something like: “Come clean this because it’s your mess” or “You need to do this chore because you didn’t do it the last time, and it’s your turn” This type of request feels more transactional, where one partner is demanding something without taking into account the balance of the partner’s other contributions in the relationship.
Now, a common follow-up question many women may ask is:

“What’s wrong with saying, ‘Come and clean this because it’s your mess’? Why should men feel disrespected by that?”

Here’s the thing: it’s not really a feeling of disrespect, but more about a feeling of unfairness. It’s a mix of frustration and an emotional response that says, “What about all the other ways I contribute without asking you to do your share of the work?”
A good way for a woman to understand this is to imagine a situation where a man demands she pay her share of the bills because, “It’s your responsibility to pay for what you use in the house.” Even if he can afford to cover it himself, and he doesn’t really need her financial support, the feeling here is one of transactional fairness. It’s not about respect, but about a sense of being asked to fulfill a duty for the sake of fairness, even when that’s not necessary.

Thanks for the explanation.

So in a common law state I guess someone can at least go in to a marriage knowing your own personal assets, in your own name, especially the ones you use and manage without any contribution from the other person, will remain yours after a divorce, or is there even a ground on which this group too can be divided?

[SW @OfficiallyCOO]

@LabiaMinoria @UnkleAyo Is this also necessary in a common law state? If yes, how is it possible to have your assets divided in a common law state?

I learnt that common law states general don’t consider the assets of one person as a matrimonial property.

@TeejayyMCFC @Wizarab10 Fun fact: Apostasy is criminalized in quite a number of developed countries

@_aaadedapo This is the effect of "Availability heuristic"

@sixbetbluff @_falsi1ke I learnt a variation of this a long time ago and it’s one of my best so far:

“Don’t take advices from people you wouldn’t trade places with”
