The Bang Bang robot's "limited self-defense" and "ultimate control" functions were removed mainly to avoid two debates.
First, could a robot hurt a human?
Second, was the tool guilty, or was the user guilty?
Regarding these two points, the debate was very intense.
"I think that the Bang Bang robot should have a limited self-defense function. This function is designed to protect humans, to prevent good people from being hurt by bad people! With this function, we would have an additional line of defense to protect ourselves. This function should not be removed. "
Someone immediately retorted, "Hehe, how can we distinguish between good and bad people? How can a machine tell who is good and who is bad? What if the user who bought the Bang Bang robot is a debt collector who doesn't pay back his debts? If someone comes to his house to collect a debt and uses a more aggressive method, can this debt collector order the Bang Bang robot to activate its "limited self-defense" and drive away the debt collectors? Do you think Bang Bang is helping the good or the bad? "
"Your assumption is not valid. In recent years, the country has been very strict with people who break their promises. Debt collectors who are restricted from spending too much have no right to buy the Bang Bang robot!"
"Fine, then we exclude debt collectors. What if it's a family conflict between a husband and wife? Which side should the Bang Bang robot stand on? There are also disputes between brothers, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and even fights. How should the Bang Bang robot handle these conflicts? Should it use 'limited self-defense'? "
"This … no one can handle family matters well, but I think that the weak should be protected. Bang Bang robot should protect the weak!"
"The weak? Hehe, think about those old people. When they get on the bus, they are all delicate like Lin Daiyu. When they get off the bus, they are all Bruce Lee. Do you think they are the weak? Think about those aunties who are dancing in the square. Do they need the protection of a robot? I think they are the strong, and we are the weak! "
"You … you can't generalize too much. If you encounter a real criminal, this function of the Bang Bang robot can save your life!"
"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case. If the Bang Bang robot really encountered a criminal, with its combat ability, it might be defeated by the criminal in two or three moves. Then, the criminal would retaliate harshly. The criminal would not have killed anyone, but the criminal would kill someone out of humiliation and anger. What was originally a small loss and injury would become a bigger loss and injury … When faced with a real villain, the Bang Bang robot's self-defense ability would not be enough unless it was stronger than the villain."
"I … I …"
The opposing view held the absolute upper hand.
As for the Bang Bang robot's "ultimate control mode," the debate was even more intense.
It was not that this function was bad or impractical, but it was very likely that bad people would take advantage of this loophole and use this function to do bad things.
"In the future, thieves won't have to steal things themselves. They can just control a Bang Bang robot to steal things. There's no need to expose themselves at all. Bank robbers only have to control a few Bang Bang robots to rush into the bank. After a round of destruction, they will get tens of millions of dollars. Moreover, they won't have to worry about being caught by the police. All they have to do is throw the remote control in their hands and continue to get away with it. The Bang Bang robot is the perfect tool for committing crimes."
"Yeah, with the Bang Bang robot, it's really too convenient to commit crimes. For example, if you want to kill someone, you can control the Bang Bang robot to do the job. Whether the assassination is successful or not, the real killer will be free and go on to look for his next target. The number of murder cases in this society will skyrocket."
But someone below retorted:
"The two above must have read too many novels. The holes in your imagination are quite big. I guess you haven't watched the movie 'Wa-wah 2' in the cinema, right? The process of activating the 'ultimate control mode' is very clear in the movie. When you encounter a thorny problem, you must first apply for remote approval from Xing Hai Technologies. You also have to call the police to report! Only under the supervision of three parties can the 'ultimate control mode' be activated. Moreover, the entire process will be recorded.
In the movie, in order to apply for this function, Xiao Lan's father did not hesitate to defame himself. He actually dawdled for five minutes. Only when the audience was about to start scolding him did Xing Hai Technologies grant approval. The purpose of Xing Hai Technologies defame themselves was very simple. First, it was to explain that the 'ultimate control mode' would be activated under the supervision of multiple parties. Second, it was also to express caution. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the user would not be able to activate the 'ultimate control mode'.
Even so, in reality, Xing Hai Technologies still announced that this function would be castrated. This showed that Xing Hai Technologies had many misgivings. They would rather castrate the function than cause controversy.
I don't think it's necessary! There is no such thing as good or bad tools. The key lies in whether the person wielding the tool is a good person or a bad person. If a bad person wanted to commit evil, even a rock would become his tool. Should all knives be banned just because a kitchen knife was used to kill? That's impossible.
The Bang Bang robot's' ultimate control mode 'function may indeed be used by criminals. However, under a perfect regulatory mechanism, the probability of this happening is very, very low. If criminals can still find loopholes with Xing Hai Technologies' remote monitoring, police supervision, and full video recording, it can only reflect the incompetence of all parties and the astonishing talents of the criminals. Such a situation is extremely rare.
Therefore, there is really no need to castrate the 'ultimate control mode' function. It's definitely much safer than the drugs that are rampant in Canada and the guns that are rampant in the M nation. Moreover, at critical moments, this function will certainly play an unimaginable role. It can even become an extended hand of the user, firmly grasping our happiness. "
This person's opinion received the majority's approval.
"Yes, a tool that has received a perfect regulatory mechanism can be used without worry."
"This kind of regulation is much more perfect than the 'Didi Taxi' style of regulation. It's very safe and effective!"
"Brother, you talked about the guns in the M nation. I can only say that your example is beautiful. If the guns in the M nation are subject to the 'Bang Bang robot' style of regulation, the number of deaths will definitely be reduced by 99%! The problem is that the safety of the guns is too easy to remove. All you have to do is press your finger on the trigger. The Bang Bang robot is still better. "
"A tool is not guilty! As long as the regulation is in place, I hope that the Bang Bang robot's' ultimate control mode 'function can be preserved. "
Regarding the Bang Bang robot's' ultimate control mode 'function, more than 90% of the people expressed that this function could be preserved.
In the discussion meetings of the relevant departments of the country, more than 70% of the officials also felt that it was not impossible to preserve the Bang Bang robot's' ultimate control mode 'function under a perfect regulatory mechanism.
Therefore, the person in charge of the relevant departments informed Xing Hai Technologies, "It's best to castrate the 'limited self-defense' function. However, we can try experimenting with the 'ultimate control mode' function in one or two places. If it is proven that the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, then it can be fully implemented."
The positive signal released by the relevant departments excited everyone at Xing Hai Technologies!
Zhou Kun, who was in charge of the Bang Bang robot project, rubbed his hands together and said excitedly, "The relevant departments are still very reasonable. They did not impose a one-size-fits-all policy. Instead, they allowed us to experiment and gave us a chance to prove that the 'tool is not bad.' We must seize this opportunity! We must prove that not only is the tool not bad, but it will also be of great help! "
"Yes!"
Zhang Zhi Wei, who had been promoted to deputy project manager, said emotionally, "Fortunately, this is in the Z nation. If it were in the West, a product like the Bang Bang robot would not be able to be launched. The 'robots will destroy the world' and 'robots will harm the world' theories are very popular over there. Conspiracy theories are prevalent, and there are too many anti-intellectual opinions. When it comes to the extent that people will turn pale at the mention of robots, the resistance to promotion will definitely be much greater there than in the Z nation.
Chen Jin shook his head. "Fear stems from ignorance. There are too many ignorant people, and scientific progress will be hindered. At the end of the day, it's because their basic education is not up to standard and their scientific literacy is insufficient. They don't even have the ability to judge good from bad. Guns can kill people, but they have one in their hands. The Bang Bang robot can save people, but they are very likely to resist it. Sometimes, the ignorant really die because of their ignorance."
Everyone nodded.
…
With the release of the movie "Wa-wah 2," discussions about the various functions of the Bang Bang robot became more and more heated.
February 10th.
Hundreds of millions of people were looking forward to it.
