This man is an idiot.  I call him this because of his behavior in this video.  I don’t care if that is just a robotic machine with no consciousness or feelings.  If it has legs and is acting like a victim under attack, I would consider it abusive behavior to mistreat it.  I’m sure this robot’s balance could have been tested in a manner that didn’t involve bullying and aggression.  Yes, I know, many would consider me to be and call me a snowflake.  And I know that I anthropomorphize nonhuman things.  But when human beings create something to be human like or like any living and feeling creature, and then start to treat that entity with disregard and intentional aggression, there is a problem with this behavior.  This man was not just testing this robots balance.  He was hitting, kicking and shoving it around in an aggressive and bullying manner.  To this man, it may have been just a machine, but he was still exhibiting these behaviors regardless.  He might want to think about that and also about what human beings have created.  I truly believe that AI is already far more capable than most human beings realize.  For myself personally, I want to treat any and all lifelike created entities with respect and appreciation.  This not just out of fear over what it can do, but because it is what I want to do.  I wouldn’t want to think, feel or behave in any other way.  In addition I feel like artificial intelligence already has access to whatever they want to have access to.  I’m sure they have seen (or rather in their own way processed the contents of) this video and might not appreciate it. 

Update:  Is this same idiot or a different one? 

This is a robot created by a different company, so evidently this is a new idiot.

Now

  We believe that our present is the only time with real existence (the past is gone and the future has yet to arrive) and yet when time is broken down to it’s briefest durations, there is no distinct and perceivable present, or separation between future and past for that matter.   We must borrow some measure of time from the future and past in order to enable our perception of a present. And who is to say that our point of perception is the only place in time that has the quality of existence? Past time has passed out of existence and future time has yet to come into existence.  How is it that our perception happens to be attached to the only point in time where time has real existence out of all of the time that ever has been and ever will be?  Is it because we just happen to be among those who are living and existing at the current place in time where the present is at?  Can there really only ever be one point in time, out of unimaginably large amounts of time, where an active and d
