Assimove Robotics Rule #1: "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm." ... fail

  Do people actually take those rules seriously? Pretty sure there was a story on HN recently about governments moving to make robots for killing

    Some people do, some don't. Just like some people obey the "rule" of not to murder, while others don't (including governments). Rules can certainly be broken, and that's not always a bad thing as our understanding of what it means to be alive and free evolves over time. The rule that women shouldn't be allowed to vote in a democracy is a great rule to break, for instance.

Pretty sure there was a story on HN recently about governments moving to make robots for killing Ummm… Asimov's laws of robotics are taken from Science Fiction books, so I'm guessing probably not taken seriously by those people actually building "autonomous killing machines" (modern military)?
