Luckily I have my own “robots” fighting hard to stop me from seeing ads.
A machine must never prompt a human to tip it for serving the purpose it was created for.
No he didn’t. The laws were a plot device meant to have flaws.
And that includes offers to subscribe to Laws of Robotics Premium.
Yes, Amazon. They’re still adverts, and you can still go and fucking fuck yourselves.
Can we just agree that adverisements in general is harmful? So the original first (and zeroth) law is applicable.
I love it when posts line up like that
A robot may not bear arms
Unless it looks super cool by doing so, like wearing sunglasses and dual- weilding P-90s
I don’t know. “Must not kill us, somehow sounds important”
It’s good, but the one about the ads should be higher on the priority list.
suicide bots sound kinda cool tho 🤔
Wait why is this mutually exclusive to the original laws? Can’t this just be law 4?
No because if it is lower on priority, a robot can be forced to show an AD to a human as per the 2nd law.
- A machine must never prompt a human with options of “Yes” and “Maybe later” - they must always provide a “No” option.
that’s what you get for hiring fallout 4 writers to do the job
- A machine must never prompt for a tip or a donation to a charity for tax-evasion reasons. Or any reason. You know what, scratch that, a robot will not needlessly guilt-trip a human.
Law 2: no poking out eyes.
Law 3: any robot that accidentally kills a human, must make amends by putting together a really nice funeral service.
How about “a robot must have complete loyalty to its owner, even if this is not in the best interests of its manufacturer”. Fat chance, I know.
Technically the laws of robotics already have that.
Law 2: a robot must obey any order given to it by a human as long as such order does not conflict with the first law.
Of course that’s little help, because the laws of robotics are intentionally designed not to work.
Wouldn’t be much of a short story if they did.
I liked the one where the robot could sense people’s emotional pain, and went crazy when it had to deliver bad news.
Love the username, OP!
Let’s introduce musk to the zeroth law
