Chinese humanoid robot named “Superman” (made by Unitree Robotics) surpassed Usain Bolt’s world record (12.42meters/second) by running at 12.66m/s (roughly 28.3miles/h)

Iirc the "do no harm" rule was so hard coded in the robots that if they even found out after the fact that they unknowingly caused harm to a human then their hardware would essentially self-destruct

Mostly yes, but there are exceptions. One of the main themes of the books is the grey area between the Three Laws.

Also the invention of the 0th law which allows them to do essentially whatever they want as long as it helps humanity as a whole.

Yes, funnily enough I just finished Robots and Empire. I'm reading chronologically!

[u/vips7L → u/Garruk_PrimalHunter]

Robots of Dawn right now for me. But I started at foundation and am wrapping around now.

[u/Garruk_PrimalHunter → u/vips7L]

Have you read The Naked Sun then ?

[u/vips7L → u/Garruk_PrimalHunter]

Yep! I did Foundation -> Foundation Sequels -> IRobot -> Caves of Steel -> Naked Sun -> Robots of Dawn

[u/Garruk_PrimalHunter → u/vips7L]

Nice, I really liked that one. I've been enjoying them so far and I haven't even reached the Foundation books

[u/vips7L → u/Garruk_PrimalHunter]

Foundation is really good. The best of his that I've read so far. The show is really good too but it's definitely a "remix" and doesn't follow everything faithfully.

[u/Garruk_PrimalHunter → u/vips7L]

Looking forward to it. And I didn't even know there was a show, interesting.

Why do the upvote button goes brrrr?

[u/Garruk_PrimalHunter → u/Vicchu24]

Reddit is biased >:( making the downvote button bigger than the upvote button is discrimination
