If there was ever a quote that represented #MAGA & the #Trump & #GOP lemmings, it's this one from #IssacAsimov, in an article he penned entitled "A Cult of Ignorance". (Attached)

As Leis da Robótica de Asimov

1.ª Lei: Um robô não pode ferir um ser humano ou, por inação, permitir que um ser humano sofra algum mal.

2.ª Lei: Um robô deve obedecer às ordens que lhe sejam dadas por seres humanos, exceto nos casos em que entrem em conflito com a Primeira Lei.

3.ª Lei: Um robô deve proteger sua própria existência, desde que tal proteção não entre em conflito com a Primeira ou Segunda Leis.

Mais tarde Asimov acrescentou a “Lei Zero”, acima de todas as outras: um robô não pode causar mal à humanidade ou, por omissão, permitir que a humanidade sofra algum mal.

Here's Issac Asimov's 1982 prediction about Artificial Intelligence on The MacNeil/Lehrer Report.

Summary: AI is inevitable & some jobs will consequently cease to exist. But entirely new job roles will also emerge. Those that can be, will need to be retrained.

Boris Smus: Invention & Discovery Cards work complete. “I’m pleased to have completed transforming Asimov’s Chronology of Science and Discovery into a deck of Magic Cards. Over five years later, all 1477 entries from Asimov’s encyclopedia are now represented as illustrated cards on https://invention.cards.”

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread, winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’ “

Issac Asimov, born on this day in 1920

Found this used as a bookmark in this book.

I guess if you play your numbers and you don't win you gotta use the ticket as a bookmark 😁😆

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." ― Isaac Asimov, Foundation

@maxkennerly So much for the three laws of robotics proposed by #IssacAsimov.

1 a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
2 a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law
3 a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.”

Weekend read, actually re-read after 30 years. Trying to figure out the difference from the tv series
#Foundation #IssacAsimov

Been waiting for this - #Foundation - ever since I read the books years ago #IssacAsimov

Foundation finds itself dwelling on the abstract molecular mass of society, and ignoring the individual parts of it. And without that human core you increasingly find yourself struggling to locate Foundation’s soul. https://wired.trib.al/Kkc9YVL Via @WiredUK
