I think they should start with a male. Would make Lysistrata that much easier to invoke.

Impressive, but also a bit scary. If they create slave-like female robots, will this start to erode empathy and reciprocity? Traits that keep us from becoming monsters.

that if AI ever wanted to get rid of us, it wouldn't do so quickly, it would do so subtly. Keeping us from reproducing would be a step in that direction.

If robots look like machines, no one can be fooled. If they look like humans, unpleasant mistakes and deliberate deceptions become inevitable.

Does no one ever ask "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO DO THIS" ? Or do they all know "$$$ are the answer"?
