A Husker engineering team is another step closer to developing soft robotics and wearable systems that mimic the ability of human and plant skin to detect and self-heal injuries.
If you had the hardware to build a robot that could “feel” the world around it, and you wanted it to self-teach how to move around on its own (so that you don’t have to pre-define movement paths), you would probably program in a system that could interpret potentially damaging sensations as danger/bad and avoid them automatically (too hot/too cold/too sharp/too hard/etc). That system would essentially be a pain response.
There’s a bit in the simspons where activists burn down a lab and a robot runs out of the building screaming “why??? Why was i programmed to feel pain?”
Every day we get closer to teaching the robots how to feel pain.
We’ll soon have some law preventing artificial humanoid robot abuse
We don’t even have laws preventing real human abuse if the victim groups have no political lobby in a lot of countries.
Yeah but these laws are protecting corporate assets so…
Pain is a great teacher.

That’s all I want out of AI.
The ability to hurt my computer when it isn’t working properly.

I am waiting for this day so eagerly. To make the computers feel what they put me through.
At least now you have something you hate more than yourself.
I’m gonna bite them as hard as I can.
Youch!
