"Good Idea, but you cannot put these 3 rules into a millitary programm.
that would be give a great confliction in the program"

"Ellison seem to think that teaching John Henry the 10 commandments will create a gentler, kinder AI. But seems to me that this could very well backfire; JH might eventually think that humanity has committed too much sin and needs a reboot... just a thought."

"Those rules don't work. Asimov made them up and then spent the rest of the time showing how they're eventually gotten around. That was the whole point.

You might think that it is possible or even ideal to give intelligent machines some hard and fast rules so they don't go on killing rampages, but in truth if you want them to respect human life like humans do, you got to give them the same reasons why humans don't always kill each other, whatever that may be."

"Are we so sure CW is forming Skynet and not some other entity? I guess that would take the storyline off in a totally different, time-consuming direction, huh? (Answered my own question. never mind)."

"Religion is never the root cause of war, it's the excuse used to sell the general public on it. Wars are always fought over land, resources, and control. And in reality the first two result in the third. That's how FORCE works, it's ALWAYS about control. One of the reasons why I don't understand why peace protesters are so hateful towards military - the soldier does not start a war, he finishes it. If you want to look to the cause, you have to look to who gives the soldier his orders.

It's the type A asshole running things that start wars, and religion is just a convenient way to rally the troops.

You'll find that generally those that follow whatever religion you're talking about only want to be left alone to live theri little lives and raise their many children. Religion itself is a healthy expression of the human experience.
