@TheJen@beige.party @r0h1n@mas.to And even if somehow it were being followed, it just takes one ... oh, I don't know ... greedy techbro or psychopath to mess it all up. Which is why, of course, it remains fictional.

@TheJen@beige.party And often the point was Asimov steelmanning his own rules. "Okay, these seem pretty solid. Let's explore every edge case I can think of where these laws lead to bad outcomes!" Which, honestly, is a baller approach to worldbuilding that you can *only* get when the load-bearing part of the premise is human policy decisions that can be scrutinized in-universe.
