Probably hundreds of movies show all the ways making humanoid robots can go wrong. Why the hell does anyone think it's still a good idea to make robots that are significantly stronger than humans?

If you consider the mentality of fascist dictators, the concept of an ever obedient non thinking workforce/army is very appealing. That's why.
Could it end badly even for them? Sure, but heck, if they don't make the human race ending robots, someone else will.
Only a matter of time now. And we don't even have the laws of robotics to protect us.
cant allow regulations of robotics or ai, because peter thiel says regulations will speed up the coming of the anti-christ, bud
A huge point of I, Robot is that there isn't some exact instructions you can give robots that will have them always protect humanity. They have an inherent danger in their literalism
It’s the underlying crux of the entire series, and even Foundation too. The Zeroeth law requires a massive war to develop it and still doesn't solve the problem.
Or laws at all at this point.
