We've had robots fighting as a live spectator sport since the early 2000s at scale and no one questioned the moral implications.

But when you make the robots humanoids, people start to take issue.

There's something interesting there.

We are a pattern matching bag of biology and when something looks like us or shares traits we've deemed cute we feel for it. When it looks like a roomba we dont care

It’s called the uncanny valley… 🤖📉📈

@PhilHKG
So they’d prefer to watch a robot fight a person?

If the robot gets to fight them then I’ll pay to watch.

Our comfort with violence seems tied to the perceived humanity of the victim. That's a disturbing reflection on us, isn't it?

@Harryoc493
No. I want them to have guns and lightsabers and chain saws and flame throwers and explosives and karate and tear limbs off

Boxing is boring

It reminded me of exactly this! Also seeing these humanoids with flamethrowers, just wow.

It's an uncanny valley for robots. Nobody had a problem with the "Real Steel" movie but humanoid with jerky robotic movement is just weird to watch. The problem is that they're not humanoid enough

Original battlebots man. I wish we could give our kids the world we inherited. I hope to have enough land my grandkids can avoid the wirehead dystopia society seems hell bent on creating. And I'll have home brewed "jail broke" robots.

@vtomnet
interesting, I haven’t seen the argument against humanoid robot fighting. The main difference I see is that battlebots are not autonomous, and humanoid robots are, correct? Is that the distinction that matters to those people?

It was a niche thing for hobbyists who were passionate about robotics and they were fighting other robots. Huge issue when robots fight humans imo

Fascinating how human-like features trigger different reactions.

@PeoplesGrocers
Well seeing the humanoid boxing robots it's immediately obvious they are going to make people fight these robots.

Do you want to be grabbed off the street for some Squid Games 2.0 type shyt to grapple with a 300lb robot for your life while Bezos cheers from his box?

Battle bots games are different than in home AI based human programmed tech that military is blackmailed into using.

@nasionie
Hmmm? You know… You know what I’ve noticed? Nobody panics when robot carnage goes “according to plan.” Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a buzz-saw bot will get shredded, or a truckload of battle drones will be blown up, nobody panics, because it’s all “part of the plan.” But when I say that one clumsy little humanoid throws a crooked punch, well then everyone loses their minds.

What functional real world application is out there for this?

People can't even do sports anymore when our AI overlords take over.

This will end exactly how you think it will because the people ultimately funding these things never have any intentions on helping anyone but themselves.

Police. Military. Anything that involves attacking citizens.

I for one, plan to show/reference this to the robot overlords moments before or leading up to me defiant execution.
