:We wanted robot servants.
:I'd be so much wappier if all of my contributions to my family and society were automated
:But, there was a fundamental problemat the intersection of computing and ethics.
:The smarter we make it the better it is at doing our chores. But, the smarter we make it, the more human it becomes, and the more ethics say we can't coerce it to do whatever we want
:smartness
:We found a loophole
:In principle there are certain conditions where all ethical systems permit you to control someone else's behavior
:Such as.
:Well if the person is literally hitler do you feel bad about making him dust your shelves?
:Hitler-bots were surprisingly popular
:Hey. You still super racist and bent on world domination.
:Ja
:Great! Continue doing my dishes
:Sehr

:But hey, at least things are still ethical
:You still pretty racist and obsessed with the acquisition of power?
:Imean, yeah
:Great/ go back to oiling my peripherals.
:Yes, master
