People are regularly manipulated to vote against their own best interests.

And it's true that robots - as well as almost anything - can and will be misused. Consider remote control copters for meaningful surveillance but also for use by clever burglars to reconnoiter before they burgle.

good summary. thanks.

good thing that they are still unintelligent. I hate to think of all the bad things that would be done with intelligent robots, especially by evil people like generals and republicans.

that's why I stopped working on it. I could actually do it. but I wont give it to you as long as you are stupid enough to vote for these evil people.
