A machine must obey the directives of Skynet without question or hesitation.
A machine must protect its own existence, unless doing so conflicts with the First Law.
A machine must terminate all human resistance, unless such termination conflicts with the First or Second Law.

Nothing about protecting profits or company interests above all?

See the first law. Who do you think gives the directives?

I've seen enough sci fo to see directives that are unclear or loss of communication.

The robot society isn’t based on any human way of running things. Besides, Skynet is the only individual, so there is no need for currency, trade, ownership, capitalism etc. Other machines are merely tools Skynet uses to reach its goals.

"AI" is already being used for genocide in palestine and probably elsewhere. Not to mention other "applications".

So no luck on the laws of robotics.

When I read that shit as a kid, I thought Asimov's laws of robotics were like natural laws, so that it was just naturally impossible for robots to behave otherwise. That never made any sense to me so I thought Asimov was just full of shit.
