Grant citizenship to a piece of technology.... Ridiculous!

Maybe they can grant citizenship to their computers and smart phones?

“I want to live and work with humans so I need to express the emotions to understand humans and build trust with people,” she said in an exchange with moderator Andrew Ross Sorkin.”

I have a problem referring to the robot as “she”. That is not in the same sense as one might refer to a car or guitar as “she”. It seems weird like in the tranny stories when they refer to the perceived gender of the tranny. Also, will “she” have to wear a burka? How long before Saudis are calling for this blasphemous thing’s stoning or until they behead it in the town square?

I have a toaster that wants to be a citizen too. I know it is jealous because ever since I got my blender it has been burning my toast.

Saudi Arabia also set the date for shooting the robot in the back of the head in traditional Muslim fashion for May 1st at the soccer stadium.

I noticed the Robot was programmed to take a shot at Elon Musk.

It’s a joke now, but 15 years from now it will not be a laughing matter.

A robot does not HAVE emotions. It can SIMULATE them, thus fooling idiots and a$$holes who are watching.
It is “IT”, not “SHE”. It does not have a sex. It can only display the supposed attributes of one of the two human sexes, thus fooling idiots and a$$holes who are watching.
A robot cannot possess citizenship, and so this grant is invalid.

What happens when they program a machine to yell “allahu akbar” and to blow itself up?
And does it get 72 young robots in paradise?

It’s going to be funny when they discover that this “robot” is a controlled drone with a human operator.

“Sophia made global headlines when she was granted Saudi citizenship,”... and promptly covered under a head-to-toe black robe, then imprisoned for being out in public without being escorted by a male relative.

Touching on concerns that robots could eventually outsmart humans and pose a threat, he added: “They are so smart they will understand it is meaningless to attack humans.”


We’re a lot smarter than cockroaches, yet we still attack them wherever we find them.
