On humanish robots

I think small, special-purpose robots would’ve been a better path. R2-D2, not C-3PO. We imbue human traits in anything that looks humanoid, blurring our perception of the line between machine and sentient being. […] The future is going to be wild, and it appears too late to change the trajectory of robotics except with small, incremental corrections.
Yeah.
