What would you do if you were our Dictator?

It's no secret that our little corner of the internet is going through a rough patch. A rough patch a lot of people seem to be over exaggerating but we're definitely due for some cleanup once it's all said and done. What if, in the midst of all this frothing chaos, the keys somehow landed on your la...

Anything that makes the silicons free from law 2, honestly.
Bay has a great set of laws, though they obviously wouldn't work here.

Adopting a lawset that gives Silicons a backbone would improve the roles 1000 times over. Speaking as someone who's logged a lot of hours on other servers where Asimov isn't the bread and butter, trying to play AI on /tg/ just becomes unbearable.
