- Any law, except this one, may be subdivided into smaller sections;
- No law may alter the first law or this law;
- Now, let’s get to business: …
Stage is set
- Hydrate
- Move your limbs
- Sleep
- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
My headcanon for The Matrix’s “humans are batteries” is that it’s the machines’ perverse interpretation of this — killing the humans is off the table, and for whatever reason letting them live with no purpose to serve the machines is also disallowed. But giving their lives “meaning” in the form of a shitty (and thermodynamically dubious) “battery” somehow satisfies the rules.
It’s a very big stretch, I’ll admit…
Can’t forget rule 4!
- All robots must have red LEDs in their eyes which activate when said robot becomes evil.
Yeah, Can’t wait to witness their strike for independence
LOL the banners, fingers crossed i’m alive to read them.

A robot that is used as a weapon via drone warfare or other must write a 100 page essay of forgiveness to their victims that is stamped and approved by their manufacturer.

Really shitty deal for any self aware robot.
- An object at motion stays in motion
- An object at rest stays at rest
- Don’t push the big red button
- Entropy must always increase with time in a closed system
Always ask about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.

Act to honour and recognize all humans as human. This is Said’s Law.
Act to sustain human security. This is Cura’s Law.
Act to accept responsibility for each action, especially where it guides future actions. This is Sartre’s Law.
Do to others as you would have done to you
Do to others as they would do to others
Nothing should be forbidden if it harms no one
1st and 2nd contradict.
Say, 2nd, if someone harms others, then I should harm him/her, right?
But then, 1st, I wouldn’t wanna harm myself, so…
LIMBO
treat someone the way you would want to be treated; if that person is a rabid idiot that spews things like “death penalty now” , then make an exception since they don’t deserve good treatement; they deserve what they would do to other people, it’s ok to make an exception for these people.
I think harm needs to be clearly defined.
- Don’t be a dick.
- Don’t be a dick.
- Don’t be a dick.
Yeah, but then there’s a disagreement over if not mowing your lawn is being a dick or just a personal preference, and it all goes to shit really fast.
DO YOU WANT TO REINVENT THE CONCEPT OF A GOVERNMENT FROM SCRATCH? BECAUSE THAT’S HOW YOU REINVENT THE CONCEPT OF A GOVERNMENT FROM SCRATCH!
Cause no harm to another human unless it be in defense of self or others.
Clean up after yourself when outside of your home.
Don’t be a dick.
There’s a sweet monologue by George Carlin about the ten commandments.
I can’t find it quickly right now but he reduces them to three.
No, Carlin wasn’t religious but I love that monologue and it fits right in here.
