Asked #GeminiAI -
'What are the best books about #HumanoidRobotics particularly works of literature like Kazuo Ishiguro's "#KlaraAndTheSun"?'



Here are some of the best books about humanoid robots, particularly works of literature that explore the themes of consciousness, identity, and the nature of humanity: 


Literary Works: 

 * Clara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro: This poignant novel explores the world through the eyes of an AI companion named Clara. As she observes the world and the humans around her, she grapples with questions of consciousness, love, and mortality. 

 * The Robots of Dawn by Isaac Asimov: This classic science fiction novel introduces the concept of the Three Laws of Robotics and delves into the complexities of human-robot relationships. The story follows detective Elijah Baley as he investigates a murder on a planet inhabited by humans and robots.


Non-Fiction Works: 

 * Humanoid Robotics: A Reference by Sarjoun Skaff and Oussama Khatib: This comprehensive reference book provides a detailed overview of the latest developments in humanoid robotics, including topics such as locomotion, manipulation, perception, and cognition. 

 * Robo Sapiens Japanicus: Robots, Gender, Family, and the Japanese Nation by Jennifer Robertson: This book examines the cultural and social impact of humanoid robots in Japan, exploring how they are perceived and integrated into society.


Additional Recommendations: 

 * The Bicentennial Man by Isaac Asimov: This novella tells the story of a robot who yearns to become human, raising questions about the nature of humanity and the potential for artificial intelligence to surpass human capabilities. 

 * Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick: This science fiction classic explores the blurred lines between humans and androids, as a bounty hunter tasked with eliminating rogue androids begins to question his own humanity.


These are just a few of the many excellent books that explore the fascinating world of humanoid robots. Whether you're interested in the technical aspects of robotics or the philosophical implications of AI, there's something for everyone in this growing genre.

Poetry, and Friends, and in asylum in PA from CA ?  . . . and see -

Received a poem, "Excalibur and halibut," from Friend Paul Jolly in the SF Bay Area on Sunday October 27, 2024 - and below are some riffing (generative conversational AI too) ideas that came to mind ... 



Paul Jolly's October 2024 Poetry Blog
Excalibur and halibut
 
If you pull a sword from a stone but it’s a fish
not a sword, you are not entitled to the throne.  
You can stuff a damaged halibut into your knapsack
to feed your non-queen mama, if the fish
 
isn’t yank-mangled.  You grip the hilt, 
pray, tug, thrilled when you feel the wriggle,
and hug a halibut the length of your arm.  
Explain to your work-bent mama 
 
you waited in line for the chance at regal
renown instead of yanking turnips.  
Brace your sorry self for mama’s snort
at a turnip harvest afternoon wasted.
 
Or,
 
A different kingdom collocates with this,
also in monarchy’s king-contest phase.
Interspersed among the hopeful Camelotters
are the would-be princes of Elsewhere, 
 
whose legend elevates the sovereign 
who can release a halibut from its stone
casing.  If you squint your head and tilt 
your eyes, you can almost see the coach 
 
of Elsewhere, counter-Camelot, parked 
and ready to convey the halibut-pulling Prince
and his retinue to the palace.  In your case, 
“retinue” means mama, who giggles
 
about her comic good luck.  She slaps the coach 
ceiling and asks the coachman to stop 
at the stream crossing so she can splash
dust from her face in the snow-melt cascade.

Quakers' attitudes towards monarchy have varied over time, but they generally uphold a testimony to equality that is at odds with hereditary monarchy:
Early Quakers
Quakers were central to the classic liberal movement, which held that people should be free to decide how to produce goods and services. Early Quakers were focused on being free of the king's commands to implement these principles.
Quakers in Pennsylvania
In the first half of the 18th century, Quakers held positions of power in Pennsylvania's government. However, they eventually decided that their political participation was forcing them to compromise their beliefs, including pacifism.
Quakers and the monarch
Quakers have historically used their privilege to address monarchs on state occasions, but their relationship with monarchy is complex. Quakers have used ceremonial language and formal titles when addressing monarchs. The last time Quakers addressed the monarch was in 2012, when Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Diamond Jubilee.
Quakers and government
Quakers generally believe that a good Quaker should avoid the temptations and distractions of political life. They reject formal leadership and hierarchies, and instead aim to make decisions by consensus and open discussion.

Paul, All,

Greetings from an asylum place in western PA. HOW ARE YOU?

Blogged about your poem here -



Explored hope in (my four books of) poetry here recently -


Greetings from an asylum place of western PA from CA, seeking to move forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center with WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute  into a newly safe Canyon 94516 from 11/30/24. Could some international criminals (eg alice sowaal ?) out of the sf quajer meeting have called for the murderous run through attempt of me sadly in the first asylum house here in Penn's Woods western PA by a craven psychopath Swiss or Lebanese soldier??? cmu undergrad at the time, co-denizen at the time, murderer? frederic khayat in april 2023 ... and with what possible military uniformed services' chain of command or network of slavers or ring of international organized crime ? 

Seeking for US federal law with states' law to work effectively in new ways in many of the above regards - and TO ABOLISH international organized crime and the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex drugs violence etc industries as MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch grows a worldwide abolition movement in planning to code for most of all 7.9 billion people on the Planet, in all 200 countries, each a Wikidata PIN # from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University.

Hi Dirk ... thanks for inquiring if I'm alright ... 


Just replying 
"Hi Dirk, 

Sorry about your blindness and your other ailments. What happened to you? How are you?  Are you alright? 

Yes, I'm still alive, and thus alright ... thanks for asking ... in deeply unwell Pittsburgh PA (culturally somehow, I posit), and after fleeing for my life from the SF Bay Area in August 2022 (after a number of death threats ... and in calling the local police twice from Canyon 94516 in September 2020 ... thanks to the suggestion of neighbors in Moraga 4 miles away Cindy, and Byron Hann MDs, above, Byron whom I know from Reed College since 1979) ...It was the 'murder' word in Chase bank Shadyside Pgh this past March 2024, spoken to me by its VP Shauna McNally, in the last time I was in that bank, after the murderous run through attempt of me in April 2023 with 2 illegal entries by Pgh police with univ of pgh med ctr 'resolve crisis' folks without a warrant ... and I called the Pgh police twice as well to make official reports, once about the murderous run through, and of 2 possible other murders in the 210 East End avenue Pgh PA 15221 1st asylum house (for a total of 4 police engagements)... which 'murder' word issue may now be resolved in the last few days - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2024/10/quercus-oak-wuas-corporation-requests.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/10/quercus-oak-wuas-requests-from-chase.html - with new communications about bank loan opportunities from Chase bank for MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, and see these 2 blog posts from today (and possibly after Chase bank Wilkinsburg 15221 criminal? employee(s) jenifer weber et al, involved in international organized crime tragically, may be locked up or similar ... suggesting things have moved on as Friendly informed CC-4 licensed free MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch continues to grow a worldwide abolition movement ... (Glad to be collaborating also with #GrowWithGoogle as of a 7/30/24 meeting in Google Headquarters in Pgh)
