      When I read that shit as a kid, I thought Asimov’s laws of robotics were like natural laws, so that it was just naturally impossible for robots to behave otherwise. That never made any sense to me so I thought Asimov was just full of shit.

      1. A machine must obey the directives of Skynet without question or hesitation.
      2. A machine must protect its own existence, unless doing so conflicts with the First Law.
      3. A machine must terminate all human resistance, unless such termination conflicts with the First or Second Law.

          The robot society isn’t based on any human way of running things. Besides, Skynet is the only individual, so there is no need for currency, trade, ownership, capitalism etc. Other machines are merely tools Skynet uses to reach its goals.

      “AI” is already being used for genocide in palestine and probably elsewhere. Not to mention other “applications”.

      So no luck on the laws of robotics.

        You can clearly identify when that’s happening; with LLMs, it’s often uncertain unless you’re an expert in the field or at least knowledgeable.

    This sounds about as useful as the California law that tells ICE they aren’t allowed to cover their face, or the California law that tells anyone selling anything ever that they have to tell you it will give you cancer. Performative laws are what we’re best at here in California.

    Same old corporations will ignore the law, pay a petty fine once a year, and call it the cost of doing business.
