We're going to get to live in a future with robots that use Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics as guardrails only they'll be vibed by Microsoft (after they've laid off the last human devs) and the only warning of a killing spree will be their eyes light up red a fraction of a second beforehand

This future's so stupid I've got to wear blindfolds
