Do androids dream of safe spaces and trigger warnings?

Posted on May 20, 2018 By Brody No Comments on Do androids dream of safe spaces and trigger warnings?

My home security system needs a safe space.

The other night while watching The Expanse (an excellent show that should be saved from cancellation, FYI), struggling with my usual seasonal allergies, I cut loose with a mighty sneeze that the Fellowship might’ve mistaken for a cave troll.

The alarm, which I’d set a few minutes earlier, was suddenly triggered!

It’s the first time that it happened while my wife Catherine and I sat peacefully in the house, minding our own business. However, it’s just the latest incident with our security system. Our dog, Calliope, is a puggle with a panicked bark that apparently sounds like breaking glass – the sort of thing our high-strung alarm waits to hear, it seems. She too can trigger the alarm. In fact, her outbursts once drew a visit from a couple of Durham Police Department officers after the alarm went off and the security company couldn’t reach me.

I sure hope our coming AI masters aren’t so easily triggered!
