@mitpress.bsky.social this is precisely what I have argued would be the actually trajectory that would lead to robot rights. #AI #welfare is just getting off the ground, but #robotrights is already a legal reality.

I meant to refer to Barthes and to my brother saying "Temps Perdu" (he had the book; I don't know whether he read it and can't recall if it's in the books in the garage) and to myself talking about Bernard Suits. The beer pairing in this thread was a nod to David's idea! @davidgunkel.bsky.social

Even the framing of this article is fundamentally stupid. The whole #AIrights or #robotrights push is just a way of getting special protections for platform corporations, their products and property, at a time when #humanrights and the rights of other living beings are under massive threat.

Not that I don’t love a good bicycle for the mind as well, of course 😉 just would defend the utility and moral justification for the concept of automating things sometimes. Which you obviously cannot say of slaves.
This is assuming you’re not into #RobotRights, ofc! P safe assumption in 2025 lol

Interesting new essay from @kamilmamak.bsky.social that lends support to what I have argued in "Person, Thing, Robot"
@mitpress.bsky.social Because human rights declarations are typically grounded in natural rights, it seems unlikely that #robotrights will follow this precedent.
@mitpress.bsky.social Because human rights declarations are typically grounded in natural rights, it seems unlikely that #robotrights will follow this precedent.
Is the Universal Declaration of Robot Rights possible? If robots do not have properties that usually ground moral status, such a global law likely won't happen. This does not mean that robot rights are impossible, but they would be local and dependent on the cultural context. 1/3
