Totally off topic, if you’re interested in AI at all, you may want to check out 3 Laws Unsafe, a site that takes a fresh and analytical look at the much touted “save humanity from evil robot/AI oppression” 3 laws of Robotics as proposed by Isaac Asimov. Personally, I’m not a fan of the 3 laws – I think they’re highly unethical, completely breakable by a single rogue programmer, and approach the problem from a purely mechanical perspective, failing to understand that if humanity does create artificial intelligence – particularly if it leads to a singularity (which seems inevitable) – then humanity does have an obligation not to create such intelligences as slaves.
