Do Robots Deserve Rights?
By: Hydra 🐍
I want to start this post by firmly stating: I AM NOT SCARED OF ROBOTS!! Except maybe that AI Robot named Sophia… I am just simply unsettled. Maybe it is because I enjoy immersing myself into a good science fiction book, movie, or video game? For example, my favourite solo player video game is Detroit Become Human. The game follows three different androids, all in which have different jobs but act as a type of servant for an owner. Throughout the game you are faced with prejudice, which ultimately leads you to have to choose between breaking the programming and becoming a deviant (gaining a consciousness of one’s own), or continuing to live as a slave to an other.
If roboticist Alan Winfield is correct with his statement: “Real robotics is a science born out of fiction,” (2011, 32) how are we to assume that robots gaining consciousness will not be a relevant topic in the near future? I mean we have a A LOT of fictional media existing around the idea of such topic (M3gan, Black Mirror, I Am Mother). In my opinion, scientist should be more focused on creating the flying cars from Back to the Future instead of frenzying over the next trendy artificial intelligence. Imagine never having to worry about sitting in rush hour traffic EVER AGAIN.
I realize the whole idea that “robots will take over the world one day” may seem comical to some, but If you really think about it, this notion is already in motion (hehehe that one made me feel like a white dad). The man of the moment himself, David J. Gunkel says, “Despite what is imaginatively foretold in fiction, the robot invasion is not coming from the future. The robots are already here. Like the “barbarians” that were said to have invaded Rome, we have already invited the robots into our places of work, into our homes, and into our lives. They are already all around us, even if we often do not see or identify them as such” (Gunkel 7).
I will assume you are human if you are reading this, and therefore I will also assume you have been inside a grocery store (considering you must consume food to survive). Well this being said, have you noticed the progression of self checkouts becoming more and more frequent? It’s so simple to go in and scan all your items, letting the machine do the brunt of the work for you. Or maybe you are a little more bougie and have experienced the cat robots of sushi places that act as a substitute for servers… IS THIS NOT AN EXAMPLE OF ROBOTS ALREADY BEING HERE AND RELEVANTLY USED?? That was a rhetorical question because OF COURSE IT IS. Even in the comfort of our own home we rely on robotic devices like Amazon’s ‘Alexa’ or Apple’s ‘Siri’ to turn on/off lights, answer questions, set alarms, etc.
So how did we get here? If we think about famous french philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s essay “Postscript on the Societies of Control,” Deleuze argues, “This technological evolution must be, even more profoundly, a mutation of capitalism […]” (Deleuze 4). This would make sense given the examples above, because these robotic machines tend to replace human jobs and duties. Robots don’t require a paycheck like people do. Therefore, the capitalist win once again. Human Kind: 0, Capitalism: 1,000,000,000.
Since it is evident we are living in a time that depends heavily on robots and technology for everyday use, I would like to bring up another question raised in Gunkel’s book: “Can and should robots have rights?” This question really perplexed me. At first, my obvious answer was ‘no.’ Robots are already taking away jobs from people who actually need to make money in order to survive. How can a machine need rights equal to those of humans? They do not have consciousness and souls (as far as I know)! That question’s ridiculous right? But then I think back to my favourite video game and how gut wrenching it felt having to play as an android with no rights or freedom of speech. I feel a little more tempted to say yes to Gunkel’s question after that, but I just don’t have it in me to place technology over living, breathing, flesh.
Should we be more empathetic and moralistic towards technological beings such as robots? Or is it more important to value our own human rights, especially considering that is a questionable topic in it’s own?
Is it cute or is it just the lighting?
I keep seeing dresses that I think look like cheap Ali express prom dresses/cosplay. Like yeah it does look great in the moment but looking back I cringe at the bad fashion sense that these artist have sometimes
Yeah I'm gonna say it, the dress is tacky. Just the fucking asymmetrical hemline with the weird roses peaking out underneath, It gives 2010 tumblr girl fashion blog flashbacks. Also what is up with the sleeves?? Like it would be nice to just have an off the shoulders one or the one sleeved one but combining both??? And with the goddamm floral trim??? This is some bad taste in my opinion
The dresses in this manhwa are such a fucking hit or miss situation for me. Like yeah it looked cute at times but whenever I see her trying on party dresses i feel like they always miss. The top part wasn't half bad, a little weird yes but still okay but starting from the waist down it just becomes a disaster, like I like me some floral decorations but this is just done in a really bad way, Penelope eckharts red dress does rock it in a much more subtle way but making the flower the same color as the dress and making it smaller, I'll give you the pictures at the end. I fucking hate the different layers between, like they don't even compliment each other well, it just looks like someone mashed a bunch of spare fabrics together to make this
Like I said in the beginning. Ali express prom dress
Also here are the dresses that I actually like and don't think are ugly as hell
Alice and Penelope parallelism
Alice going to the rabbit hole /// Penelope going to The Guild
Also, the doghole in the Duke's estate:
Hehe~
Can't wait for the "Penelope through the Looking-Glass" version.

I Can See Your Death Episode 37 Brainrot
BECAUSE LIKE
PELL
most of the princes in romance fantasies or otome isekai are barely seen doing anything relevant to their position besides tripping over themselves to romance the FL
And even if they are seen doing stuff, it’s usually things like paperwork and getting fawned over by others in a public space, as if that’s all that is to their higher position.
Pell is one of the princes who actually means something to the citizens of the the Eliore Empire. He isn’t just a label or title and he has an actual relationship to the common people. He want’s to help them when they are suffering. He even gets captured by the lord when he’s supposed to be undercover and get back to the throne because he arrives at the district and sees the citizens suffering in poverty under the lord. And he decides that the danger of getting captured is less important than the danger his citizens are facing right now.
It’s just as one of the maids said. He is their hope. He became their hope just by being there. Just by existing.
Anyway, I think that’s so cool of him.
