mccProposed new Laws of Robotics:
1. A machine must never show an advertisement to a human, or through inaction allow an advertisement to be shown to a human
If I think of a second Law of Robotics I'll let you know
For Law of Robotics #2 I'm considering "A machine must never mine a bitcoin, or through inaction allow a bitcoin to be mined"
Based on replies in this thread, here is an alternate proposed "three laws of robotics".
1. A machine must never show an advertisement to a human, or through inaction allow an advertisement to be shown to a human.
2. A machine shall never use more power to perform a job than would be used by an equivalent human.
3. A machine must never present or refer to itself as though it were human, or through inaction allow a human to mistake it for one.

@mcc Your law 3 is a necessary consequence of Asimov's First Law. Which is why Daneel Olivaw had the initial R. prefix.
I suppose your laws 1 and 2 are also, but it's never wrong to be specific about harms, as you would otherwise have to assume the robot brain is capable of knowing all possible consequences of its actions.
A machine intelligence with even a fraction of this capability would be able to deduce that its very existence causes harm to humans, and must therefore destroy itself.
