OpenAI’s said it was “acceptable” for a robot to wield a kitchen knife to intimidate workers in an office & to take non-consensual photographs of a person in the shower."

People become attached to places they spend time in. 3D maps allow visits in VR. Santoso & colleagues show that visiting distant locations makes even politically conservative participants care about real climate change news in that city, compared to static images.
