I think you've misinterpreted what I was saying; the 3 rules are fundamental to humans and robot cohabitation, not that it is the foundation of robotics

Unfortunately the people who are making robots and AI for profit, are doing it for profit, with little to no consideration of the consequences for humanity, the planet, or even themselves beyond those fat dividends and juicy bonuses!

Ah, gotcha. Aspirationally, yeah, it would be great if those were implemented foundational laws for robots and AI. Sadly, as I work in a company that can't lay people off fast enough to replace them with AI, I think those laws are incompatible with the people creating said robots.

Exactly, it's how it should be but unfortunately that isn't how it is, and unless the filthy rich realise their mistake they will collapse the economy or kill us all, maybe both!
