Humanoid Robots

BOP II Topic of the Week: I know I don't have $95k lying around to buy Melody, but wow does she show how fast humanoid robots are evolving into something with real emotional presence in the physical world. No more stiff kiosks. We have robots that make eye contact, read your mood, and actually remember past conversations. Humanoid robots are no longer science fiction, they are showing up at conferences, greeting people, and acting like co-workers. Any thoughts on where this is heading or how fast it is moving?

I use CoPilot very often. But it scares me to think that a robotic AI will be walking among us. Will the robot be a positive or negative in our lives? Will this robotic 'human' turn evil and rob a bank, murder humans, kidnap a child? These, amongst others are the negative thoughts about a robotic AI 'human' that terrifys me.

Yet on the other hand, one of these robots can, with their amazing abilities, find cures for all diseases and eliminate ones like Cancer, Alzheimers, genetic disorders, MS, Parkinson's, Autism, ALS, Huntington's, etc.

Dangers of using E-mail Address as Login

BOP II Topic of the Week: We use our email for everything from logging in to resetting passwords, getting one-time codes, talking to doctors, banks, businesses, and friends. Over time, it becomes the single point of access to our entire digital life. Cybersecurity experts say this makes email one of the most valuable and vulnerable accounts we have. How do you protect yours? Any tips or habits that you have picked up over the years that you care to share? Check out what the experts have to say:

TL;DR (To Long; Don't Read): The “gift to hackers” = using the same email as the login for everything, without extra protection

It's getting harder and harder to deal with these kinds of things now. Passkeys and 2FA are becoming more and more required. A password manager isn't enough, apparently. I liked the tip about having multiple email addresses. That's what I do.

Importance of End-to-End Encryption?

BOP II Topic of the Week: After their denial last week, Meta confirmed the end to its End-to-End encryption (E2EE). So, your direct messages will not be private anymore. The privacy WAS so important and now it is not. Do you think E2EE does not matter anymore?

I think it's important and matters. I don't think allowing just anyone to be able to read your messages is a good thing.

Biometrics - Should they be regulated?

BOP II Topic of the Week: XR headsets might soon log you in using your heartbeat and breathing. Should internal biometrics be regulated the same way as fingerprints and DNA?

Well, it seems it's only used when you have one of those XR Headsets. I don't have one of those and I don't even know what that is. I guess if you choose to put it on, then by default, you'll have to agree to letting your bio data log you in?
