Exactly. Asimov was criticising the whole idea of simple rules governing complex beings, imo. No small set of simple rules is going to be enough to prescribe the behaviour of a complex system.
Fortunately, everybody with any sort of experience with LLMs already learned that. Nothing with LLMs are absolute. It’s all weights, and depending on the situation, it might choose to follow one “IMPORTANT” instruction over another.
The whole concept of Asimov’s rules were obsolete from the get go.
lol asimov’s stories were all about ways those rules don’t really work
