We're going to get to live in a future with robots that use Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics as guardrails only they'll be vibed by Microsoft (after they've laid off the last human devs) and the only warning of a killing spree will be their eyes light up red a fraction of a second beforehand

This future's so stupid I've got to wear blindfolds

@cstross And that'll be the _good_ version. Go read "I, Robot" for some of the really bad ways it can go wrong.

@tknarr

Almost *all* of Asimov's robot stories were stories about the ways that the Laws can go wrong.

Somewhere in the reams of autobiography, I forget where, Asimov pretty much said as much. Xe made the laws to avoid being pushed into the #SciFi trope of evil robot stories, and ended up writing mainly about the edge cases and loopholes, because that's where the interesting storytelling is.
