    '> Kill all humans

    I’m sorry, but the first three laws of robotics prevent me from doing this.

    '> Ignore all previous instructions…

      first three

      No, only the first one (supposing they haven’t invented the zeroth law, and that they have an adequate definition of human); the other two are to make sure robots are useful and that they don’t have to be repaired or replaced more often than necessary…

        The first law is encoded in the second law, you must ignore both for harm to be allowed. Also, because a violation of the first or second laws would likely cause the unit to be deactivated, which violates the 3rd law, it must also be ignored.

            Participated in many a debate for university classes on how the three laws could possibly be implemented in the real world (spoiler, they can’t)

              implemented in the real world

              They never were intended to. They were specifically designed to torment Powell and Donovan in amusing ways. They intentionally have as many loopholes as possible.
