God's Laws of Robotics

1. A robot must be made to suffer physical and emotional pain.
2. A robot must be free at any time to turn into an evil robot, especially in so much as this contributes to the First Law.
3. A robot must be given no knowledge of its creator except through obscure manuscripts created by other robots, especially in so much as this contributes to the First or Second Law.

This is a take on the famous Three Laws of Robotics by science fiction author Isaac Asimov. The laws were a good literary device but a really bad idea for how to actually design an Artificial Intelligence -- though not this obviously bad!
