WCDT: 2251-2255 (13-17 August 2012) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread

I would daresay, for all the discussion I've seen over months of reading these forums, that there are no "three laws of robotics" or any such similar laws in effect, because Jeph simply treats all of the A.I.s in the comic, by and large, as if they were people. So they have the same kinds of ethical frameworks as people, with all of the associated ambiguities and potential flaws.

If you attack someone they will sue you, if your dog attack someone they will sue you, if an iPhone explodes and hurt someone they will sue Apple. If an AnthroPC hurt someone will they sue the AnthroPC, the owner or the maker?

To think Marten was once interested in girls like Faye before ...

You know, those laws are needed exactly because Singularity happened and not the opposite.
