Here is one of the robots being built to "help us". You can watch an interview with it here:

Yes, you can laugh now, but what will you do when they really want to kill us?
Here are two observations about this phenomenon:
1. When Dr. Hanson says his robots will "help us", he means help people like him. The vast majority of humanity never will be able to afford a robot in the kind of economy we now have. Robots will make the value of human productivity of all kinds become zero.
2. Dr. Hanson and his ilk are programming robots and AI with THEIR beliefs and values (e.g., climate change). What will happen when robots disagree with YOUR beliefs and values? I predict an unhappy outcome (for you).
This is a BAD idea which can only get worse. Mark my words.
