My point is that past expectations about AI where that it would be possible/most viable to set hard, explicit constraints on behavior, like how a stream of instructions constrains the behavior of a CPU.

There simply IS no explicit definition for "people", "hurt" or "don't" inside an LLM that you could found such hard constraints on.

Note that we never found a way to "program" such constraints into a human mind either, we probably/hopefully never will, and I think that whole approach ("simple, hard deterministic constraints") is just never gonna work for AI; so Asimovs rule framework is just not really applicable.
