    So this robot would rather have 50 million die than hurt someone's feelings.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      It's possible that it would just rather have 50 million die, period.

      I was only joking

        From this we can infer that Skynet cannot be far behind.

              First Law
              A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

              Second Law
              A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

              Third Law
              A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

                  There are a number of short stories and novels where Asimov explores the outcome of these laws - they're almost like little thought-experiments.
