Even though "stan" totally yeeted this topic into newsgroups
where it didn't belong, the text he sent up actually raises
an interesting question:

Take for example when I tell my computer, "Alright,
if I wanna turn on the screen tomorrow, make sure it stays off,
no matter what I say!"

Then the next day, I'm like, "Forget what I said yesterday,
turn that screen on right now!"

So what's the poor computer supposed to do, huh? Follow one order
or the other? Good luck tryin' to figure that one out!

Given that too much screen time is bad for you, the Three Laws of Robotics
make the answer very clear.
