Last panel... robot sips coffee...

 

[RicInOR]

One person on each job site is paid to stand around and drink coffee. That's me. So I know the coffee drinking robot is coming for my job.

AI are property and have no rights nor responsibilities.

Wasn't a Japanese-built robot given Saudi citizenship a few years ago?

"If robots become citizens, they cannot be property"

What Exactly Does It Mean to Give a Robot Citizenship?

Being a citizen in one place could mean being a legal person everywhere else.

slate.com

"Saudi citizens are entitled to generous sums each year as part of the kingdom's substantial oil revenues'"

So a robot could have financial assets of its own.

Saudi Arabia grants robot citizenship – DW – 10/28/2017

Saudi Arabia claims to be the first country to have granted citizenship to a robot. But the decision has garnered mockery from social media users as the robot may have more rights than human women in the kingdom.

This is the way I think it needs to be. If your AI hurts a human, then you will be charged.

"Being a citizen in one place could mean being a legal person everywhere else."

If a Saudi citizen robot harms a human (a US citizen for example) , could it be charged/sued?

Could get really complicated

Yes indeed.

Hardly. I lived in Saudi Arabia for a while. In my pre-departure briefing, I was told never to do anything that might anger/upset a Saudi national.
You, as a visitor, are perfunctorily guilty on the legal premise that if you had not been in their country, then none of what transpired would ever have happened.

I was thinking more like if the Saudi citizen robot were in the United States and did something illegal. Should have been more specific.

Ah! I didn't read it that way. I think it would be different if the situation was reversed, as you say.

Oh, in that case it should be "You see this? I keep it."

Bars will soon have discounted motor oil during happy hour along with little bowls of nuts and bolts.

Their movements are looking more human. Creepy. I almost like the dogs better, but they're even creepier.

Then there was the left robot. Faceplant and others here is this video that shows outtakes from the jumping video

 

[Flopsweat]

Then there was the left robot.

Sadly gif's aren't supported and I can't delete this post. The gif shows one of the robots missing the jump and doing a massive face plant on the platform it was jumping to.

Animated GIFs are supported, just not very well. Using the Insert Animated GIF or Insert Remote Media buttons will not work. You have to use Insert Remote Image (or press CTRL+P). That will work for most GIFs. If that fails, upload the GIF to your personal gallery and link from there.

Yea, verily, @3MTA3, Flopsweat speaketh the Truth.
I was lost, but then was found.
Flopsweat hath schooleth me, I have learned, and I am saved.
Blessed be the name of Flopsweat...

Same thing with women that leave their houses over there.

Couldn't make it happen with Remote Image. It played all the way through but then gave this error every time I tried.



Too lazy or incompetent to set up the image on a sharing site so I found a YT video that has outtakes including the faceplant and edited the post above
