The three laws of robotics were created by Isaac Asimov and they're a perfect circle of protection until the robot starts wondering what to do when it has to actively harm one human to save another one, then it starts doing what the NS4 did during the accident, it makes a cold choice based only on logic. VIKI's conclussion, known as Law Zeroth, is what happens when this reasoning gets applied to all mankind, it essentially overrides the first law and changes it from "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm" to "A robot may not injure HUMANITY or, through inaction, allow HUMANITY to come to harm", and thus through logical reasoning the robot will conclude that to save humanity some humans may have to be "sacrificed."

[@morgonyoung4935]

The whole backstory part it is interesting because I like them showing it later because then you realize why he is the way he is instead of it just telling you from the start gives you that sense of wonder and answers it later

[@crimsonknight7011]

“One arm laterals is a waste of time. Do them both or not at all” Interesting to notice on a second watch that he was only doing one arm because that was his natural arm and the other one was robotic and didn’t benefit from weight lifting.

[@WhiteWoof]

Except he's doing the lifts on his robotic arm. I'm thinking he's doing the lifts with that arm because of Phantom Limb Syndrome. Watch his interactions with his left arm even just in the morning. He wakes up and rubs at his left shoulder. He does the lifts with his left arm. In the shower he's clenching and unclenching his left hand. My guess is his left arm still hurts, even though it's been replaced with a nerveless robotic one.

[@teslainvestah5003]

@@WhiteWoof The muscles that raise your arm are all in your shoulder and chest. Maybe his are still original.

[@jerodast]

Being a flabby waste of flesh it mostly didn't occur to me how odd that was - I love that he called it out right away but was still shocked by the arm reveal. Foreshadowing that isn't too blatant! Not something you always expect in this film haha.

[@starbrand3726]

The book is absolutely different from this movie. In fact, when this movie was written, the studio forced the screenwriter to connect it to the book. Name change here, plot point there, and they just slapped on the title I Robot. But basically it's an original story.

[@kinjapleb4228]

The book is nothing like the movie, its multiple short stories breaking down the flaws of the 3 laws. Its great, but i dont think the two can be compared. But I do really miss movies like this, great themes and messaging wrapped in layers of fun and action.

[@jerodast]

I actually think this film totally fits with the themes of the short stories. Especially if you take out the cheesy action and product placement :) But it is definitely not a direct adaptation.

[@tdeo2141]

Do Dr Calvin and Spooner end up together in the book? I found it interesting to hear the comment from this channel “These two have zero chemistry”. So I’m wondering if it was on purpose. Too often Hollywood movies always make the main characters hook up when there’s no need for it.

[@kinjapleb4228]

@@tdeo2141 If I remember correctly, there wasn't even a "Spooner" in the original book.

[@tdeo2141]

@@kinjapleb4228 really? So is Dr Calvin the main character, then? Or Sunny, maybe?

[@kinjapleb4228]

@tdeo2141 Like I said, the novel is actually an Anthology. It's all multiple mini stories, all with different characters. So there isnt really a "main character." Sonny is not a character in the book, just like how Spooner isn't. It's very, VERY different from the book in terms of story but the themes and ideas are the same.

[@martinleopard193]

The book explores multiple ways of how those laws break down at edge cases. Fun short stories. I'd recommend reading Isaac Asimov's robot stories and the Foundation books. Those are the basis for modern sci-fi robots, AI and Star Wars-like space drama.

[@louiseaston1409]

That first chapter with the young girl had me in tears! Great little book!

[@majkus]

"Foundation" is not really the basis for Star Wars-like space opera. E. E. Smith's "Lensman" stories probably have much more influence.

[@ericjette2435]

​@@majkusStar Wars was definitely inspired by the Lensmen stories, but Asimov's Foundation and robert stories may also have been an influence, along with Dune.

[@silentassason]

14:08 people watching movies have that issue too. I've seen so many people be like "the character is smart why are they making mistakes like this"

[@Nirobi99]

Hard disagree with your notion that Spooner's backstory would have been better put early in the movie. Placed early, the story becomes straightforward. We know what happened, we know why he is the way he is. It's simple, safe, and unexciting. Placed late, we spend most of the movie wondering what exactly made Spooner the way he is. It build intrigue, makes the viewer ask questions, makes the viewer eager to learn what happened, and when we eventually get the answer it feels like a payoff and recontextualizes what we've seen up to that point. Of course, that doesn't mean that every formative event in any character's story should always be placed in a late flashback, since it can very easily be poorly done or overdone. I just think that I, Robot handled it well this way and that it would have been boring if Spooner's motivation was spelled out for us at the beginning.

[@UnboundAlchemy]

For a guy who loves a good plot and twists in a story, it would be sweet to see you react to The Prestige. Massively underrated film with an insanely stacked cast.

[@jeremygiesbrecht]

Another pretty great "AI" movie, is Eagle Eye (2008), starring Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Billy Bob Thornton, Rosario Dawson, Michael Chiklis, William Sadler, and Anthony Mackie.

[@Dennis_K09]

You said his backstory as to why he dislikes robots should've been done earlier n the film, I disagree because if we knew earlier, it wouldn't be as impactful. Due to us finding out his story later on, then we can be like oh it makes sense. If we find out earlier in the film, there's no build up, we can't theorize anything if we know immediately.

PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord. Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it! I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died. God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him. Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil". LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
