Dr Jamie Paris @jamieparis.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I never realized that implementing the four laws of robotics would be this difficult. I think someone needs to write a prequel to I, Robot just outlining the debates over the rules. How many hundreds of people had to die before companies agreed to the no murder robots rule? 000

It sucks and I’m devastated. It is going to hurt for a few days. Soon, hopefully, it will hurt less and I will be happy I put myself out there. Growth comes from pain 120
