Isaac Asimov had his three rules of robotics — they can’t hurt humans, they must obey humans, they must act to protect themselves except when it would violate the first two rules — but we all know that robots are a lot more interesting when they break the rules. In fact, most people are more interesting when they break the rules, too. In fact, I hate rules. Rules are stupid.
