    Yeah it’s crazy. I grew up reading about how the “three laws of robotics” are still imperfect, contradictory and filled with loopholes.

    But these sci-fi worlds at least tried, imperfect as they are. Turns out IRL no one gives a fuck.

      IRL we aren’t anywhere near the point where the laws of robotics can be used as they require an AI intelligent enough to understand them first.

      Just the first law: “A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm” requires something that can process the difference between a robot and a human, the concept of causality, what actions or events may or may not harm a human, and use those to actively decide of it should do something or not.
