Ukraine is set to field its first officially codified domestically built grenade launcher armed ground robot, after the Ministry of Defense approved the Droid NW 40 robotic combat system for service with the country’s Defense Forces, developer DevDroid said on December 23.

There are loops. Killing a few Russian invaders will prevent many Ukrainian killings.

There's at least one story I can remember about that.

I don't think it's a loophole. Surgeons hurt people in order to prevent a greater pain. ruZZia is just a cancer.

It's seen as an unexpected loophole in the books. Similar to how a surgeon won't kill one healthy person to save two with their organs.

At least on I,Robot

Edit: also, on I,Robot they harmed very specific people with very calculated results. Not like going to war, even on the defensive side.

The Foundation adaptation on AppleTV. Where, famously, spoilers

Tap for spoilerDemerzel, this robot in the gif, kills lots of people by exploring the loophole that let robots commit genocide in supposed compliance with the 3 laws.

Holy shit. Random, I know but you just convinced me to check this out.

If you start on season 1, don’t let that dumpster fire dissuade you from the rest of the show. Once you get past that, the show is solid

[–] ngdev@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

the empire story line is basically what holds that season together imo

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah the plot lines outside of that are kinda garbage. And I say that as a fan of the original books.

[–] ngdev@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

yeah anything non empire is kinda bad until this latest season. idk if they condensed a lot of shit from the books or what, i never read them

It’s more that they sharply diverge from the core ethos of the books.

Dumping the admittedly misogynistic bent of the source material was a great move (including switching the gender of one of the core protagonists). Pretty much every other change made around the foundation-centric plots was straight up poor show running and writing. It goes from high sci-fi to “just another future-y action show”. And many of the plot changes are just.. completely nonsensical.

They also explore this on I, Robot

They are Isaac Asimov's rules for robots. Google it, it's a whole thing.
