For those that have been busy doing real things, the fact that Sophia the Robot is heading to Greece to do a meet and greet. She apparently identifies as a woman, which I suppose is just one more thing that women will put up with. She didn’t make woman of the year, though, so there is that.

The Greek Reporter covered it, Al Jazeera has a video of Sophia, and last year Sophia was on a panel of ‘humanoids’ that told the UN that they could do a better job of running things than humans.

Taking a look around, I’d be hard pressed to disagree. Humans are good at creating new problems like AI without dealing with the old problems running rampant.

What is particularly weird about this is her status. She has a passport. She’s being treated as a human, and is also being treated to at least a degree as a woman.

It’s a bit concerning when people on the planet don’t even have those rights.
