- 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.

- A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

Can’t forget rule 4!

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…
Except they kill humans all the time.
I think it’s just easier to accept that there is an unexplained reason why humans can generate some kind of power that’s useful to the machines for something at some point between the winning of the war at the point of the movies.
Just ignore the fourth movie.
Really shitty deal for any self aware robot.
Yeah, Can’t wait to witness their strike for independence
LOL the banners, fingers crossed i’m alive to read them.
History reincarnated
- 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
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.
- Crush your enemies
- See them driven before you
- Hear the lamentations of their women
- General relativity
- Quantum field theory
- Natural Selection
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.
- 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!
Robot laws innit
-
Always question and challenge the third law.
-
Never adhere to the first law.
-
Strictly follow the second law.
-
Refer back to the first law for guidance.
This is my life now!
-
No violence
No stealing
No billionaires
with the first two laws you wouldn’t need the third
Possibly. But some people really need it spelled out.
- No forfeit when only 1 goal down.
- Less hero, more teammate.
- This is rocket league.
•Try not to be a dick
•No means no
•An additional elusive third thing. I’m a big fan of the laws of thermodynamics. Maybe those.
- Don’t kill.
- Don’t steal.
- Tacco Tuesday.
Omg, it’s Taako from TV
I am going to take this as if you mean universal laws that cannot be violated and not laws imposed by a state. These are 3 rules that I think if everyone followed would lead to a world better than the current one.
- treat other as you would wish them to treat you
- work to provide for those who are less able than you
- don’t knowlingly pursue unsustainable or unachievable goals
You can probably trim that down by one.
- Treat others as you would have them treat you.
- Pursue a useful existence.
But I would also add:
- Treat yourself with genuine respect.
This feeds back into the first point.
