I am currently laughing
at a friend who posted on craigslist in the hope of finding some interesting people.

In response to the question: I would love to invent a proper robot and force it to obey the Three Laws

force it? with actual force
or programing force

(also, what about the zeroth law?)
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 20 Sep 2010, 20:25, Reply)

I would use programming force
and not include the zeroth law. Far too much potential for harm. Once Daneel etc had that power, but not a human perspective it became very much about humanity being guided from the outside, towards a final conclusion (in the Foundation books) that was horrible

/total and utter geek

does the fact that I nodded along to that going "hmm, yeah" mean I am too?
robots are awesome if humanity has to be destroyed by anything I'd be hard pressed to pick between robots and zombies
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 20 Sep 2010, 20:35, Reply)

I'm afraid it does
but being geeky isn't a bad thing.

I don't want humanity to be destroyed by anything. But especially not by robots because it'd be so efficient. Forget Terminator, if robots took over the world and destroyed it, there'd be no survivors. At least within zombies you'd have a chance

I've looked at the Virginia Craiglist and it's beyond bad.

She said there were several people
updated: she has about thirty replies. About half want a one night stand, five want a relationship, five are almost illiterate, and the other five sound alright.

I thought Craigslist had taken down its casual encounters section
but that was Gumtree.

There are a lot of men on there.

I once convinced a woman to visit me for sex
on gumtree. Seemed totally above board - she was a bit older and gave no hint of scamming. I was well up for it. She gave me her number and a load of explicit pictures. Then I woke up sober and never called her. Still freaks me out a bit - I genuinely think there was a chance she wasn't a pro. I have the emails archived - it's shocking how much personal info she divulged. Fucking weird.

Sometimes I wake up hungover and horny and contemplate getting back in contact with her but... no. too fucking weird.
